THE PREDICTION
The international break perhaps came at a bad time for Mainz, who had just recorded their first back-to-back wins of the season to climb out of the bottom three for the first time since November. They now have a chance to put some breathing space between themselves and second-from-bottom Arminia Bielefeld, whose form is poor in comparison with just one win in nine. Frank Kramer's men have also failed to score in five of their last six. Eight of Mainz’s last nine home league games have produced under 2.5 goals and that pattern is set to repeat itself against the division’s second-lowest scorers in this relegation six-pointer.
