Mainz has only one point and are therefore at last place in the table. The defence has had a poor performance so far and also has major personnel worries. Even in the last match against Augsburg, midfielder Dominik Kohr had to help out in the central defence. Now they have another bad news. Defender Andreas Hanche-Olsen will have surgery on his foot and will not be able to play for at least 4 months.

They're really unlucky this season, usually Mainz is ranked in the middle of the Bundesliga standings. Not only Mainz, in the standings there are 2 more teams that have 1 point, they're Koln and Darmstadt. In the next 3 weeks will probably be a terrible week for Mainz, because they will face strong teams such as Leverkusen, Monchengladbach (currently they're not having a good performance) and Bayern Munich.

Yes indeed, results like this are really a very bad start to the season for Mainz and moreover, when the situation is very bad like this and Mainz gets a difficult schedule with heavy opponents also in a row. Therefore, it will certainly be difficult for Mainz to be able to improve its position in the standings in the near future. But yes, at least Mainz still has a good effort too in every match so far because yes, even though Mainz lost. But at least, Mainz still has the ability to be able to minimize defeat with a goal, at least it is also good for them this moment. Because maybe, with that ability will also be able to make Mainz will still have good morale to be able to recover over time.

Btw Mainz did not reduce their deficit because in this match they scored first and Augsburg retaliated and even comeback for their victory in this match.
Looking at Mainz's condition, I think it was a bad thing because they were chaotic after they took the lead and even the red card that Ame Engels got midway through the second half was not able to maximize Mainz even though they were superior in terms of players.
Augsburg played very well their defense did not falter despite losing a player and I think that is one of the things that should be appreciated in this match.
In the end, with this defeat Mainz sank further at the bottom of the Bundesliga standings at the start of this season.

With the current performance, we see from Leverkusen this season with Xabi Alonso, I think there is a high chance for this coach to win the game they are going to have in the next week against Mainz.
However the rates are a bit low for Leverkusen, obviously many people are given more chances to Leverkusen for this game.
