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, it's true that the next 3 weeks will be very tough for Mainz, with matches against strong teams like Leverkusen, Monchengladbach and Bayern Munich it might be very difficult to get points, Leverkusen and Munich will be difficult to beat but, maybe they can steal points against Monchengladbach who the team's condition is not good,
Yes, this season seems to be a difficult season for Mainz in the Bundesliga. I hope Mainz, who are experiencing difficulties, can overcome these challenges and show better performance in the next few matches.
