Mainz without Wetklo, Müller doubtful, Baumgartlinger, Bungert and Koch. The other side with Rosenthal, Schwegler, Zambrano and Kittel.

Both teams on a huge downtrend and both are not in their best shape. Mainz maybe with a lot of problems on keeper position if Müller can not play with his back problems because replacement Wetklo got a red card against Augsburg and is suspended here. In this case a young keeper must play here. This is not the best situation as they are not the best in defensive at the moment. In offensive they need to many chances for a goal and this is the next weak point here.

For Frankfurt it must be seen how they can manage the trip to Israel and their return with the lose in bag. Maybe some of the players are a bit tired but this is an important derby as well and the fans are not allowing to lose this anyway. All must be focused as much as they can. One good thing have this match for them, they play on the road and this is much better as at home where they had a lot of problems in the past. Offensive line looks good and they can always create and scored here, defensive is a bit shaky with Zambrano out now due to suspension.
