Mainz face off with visiting opposition side Darmstadt at The MEWA Arena in their Bundesliga 1 fixture on Saturday. Here is an update on the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.
Mainz will play in this game after a 0-0 Bundesliga 1 drawn result versus RB Leipzig. We think that Mainz will probably line up in a 3-4-2-1 system this time with Robin Zentner, Sepp van den Berg, Josuha Guilavogui, Andreas Hanche-Olsen, Silvan Widmer, Leandro Barreiro, Nadiem Amiri, Phillipp Mwene, Jonathan Burkardt, Jae-Sung Lee and Ludovic Ajorque.
There is just one fitness concern for the Mainz gaffer Bo Henriksen to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Stefan Bell won’t play.
How Mainz might line up to take on Darmstadt
Last time out, Darmstadt drew 2-2 in the Bundesliga 1 tie with VfL Bochum. There’s a good chance that Darmstadt might begin the game with a 4-4-2 system by sending out Marcel Schuhen, Matthias Bader, Christoph Klarer, Thomas Isherwood, Emir Karic, Julian Justvan, Bartol Franjic, Tobias Kempe, Gerrit Holtmann, Aaron Seydel and Oscar Vilhelmsson.
Darmstadt boss Torsten Lieberknecht has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Fabian Nürnberger (Ankle problems), Marvin Mehlem (Broken fibula) and Fraser Hornby (Ankle injury) miss out here. Klaus Gjasula is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
