After the bad run Mainz has do make some things clear and the first one was to suck their Coach. The next step was that they need a person who knows the club well and they are very keen in him to bring them forward. They did this already with Klopp, Tuchel and now Schmidt who comes from the second team and is their head coach now. He career is a bit funny if you read all his things he had done but nevertheless he can show his skills in Bundesliga now. According to their last style of play it is a lot to do and he has to work hard with the team to bring them back on track. With the derby ahead it is not the best start maybe but they have to go step by step. First keeper Karius is back after his suspension and in goal again also Schmidt counts on some experienced players like veteran Noveski who should help to bring more stability in their defensive play. On the wing can be Bell an option for Brosinski. The biggest question mark is behind important Hofmann and after some news it is likely that he must pass today.
Last weekend Coach Schaaf made his 500 games as Coach in BL and his team celebrated with him with a 1-0 win to Schalke. After a bad second half in Freiburg where they had controlled all but lost in the end because of too many mistakes they are doing better and better in defensive now. Coach Schaaf has maybe found the right balance between offensive and defensive. Nevertheless they have to work hard because Schalke has some good attempts but keeper Trapp was also in a good position to safe. Up front they have the weapons to score in every game. Above all Aigner, Stendera, Meier and Seferovic are very dangerous. One changes must be made because Hasebe is suspended and Coach Schaaf search for the right man. Some options are there with Russ who played in central back against Schalke, also Flum and Medojevic are alternatives.
Overall a very close match and all can happen in this derby. Of course a new Coach brings always some fire in the team and they are hot and motivated to show the new one on the line that he can count on them. But it is a special derby and the time was not to much to prepare for Schmidt, in this case I am looking more on Frankfurt to break the streak in Mainz and win the first time there. After the home performance against Schalke they are motivated and have a lot of self confidence as well.
