Mainz will host Wolfsburg at the MEWA Arena in the Bundesliga on Saturday (Novmeber 5), looking to bounce back from their last defeat.
Die Nullfunfer were crushed 6-2 by champions Bayern Munich in their last game, snapping their four-game unbeaten run in the league. That saw them slip to ninth in the standings with 18 points from 12 games as their European ambitions were dealt a fresh blow.
Nonetheless, the Rhineland-Palatinate outfit are just a point off the European spots and will look to return to winning ways this week.
Wolfsburg, meanwhile, are unbeaten in their last five top-flight games, having started their campaign with five winless outings. This improvement in form has seen them climb up to 12th in the league table with 14 points from 12 games.
