Game Preview
On December 16, Mainz will play Heidenheim at the MEWA Arena in the upcoming round of the 2023–24 Bundesliga season.
After their unexpected 2-0 victory over RB Leipzig in November, Mainz, currently ranked second-bottom in the Bundesliga, has not been able to build on that victory. That win is still their lone triumph in 23–24, and they must accrue as many points as possible to stay in the top division until the league season ends the following year. After overcoming Leipzig, the team has managed to escape defeat three times in a row, indicating that they are a team that finds it difficult to score goals. This is demonstrated by the fact that Mainz has only scored one goal in their last 4 games, a 1-1 tie at Hoffenheim in late November, and none in goalless matches against Koln and Darmstadt as well as a 1-0 loss versus Freiburg.
Heidenheim, who have lost 6 of their last 7 away games, are still looking to gain as many points as possible on the road since earning promotion. Although Frank Schmidt’s team has performed well in their inaugural Bundesliga season, the Southwest German team still needs to strengthen their weak defense, which has allowed at least two goals in each of their away league games this year. That ought to be the first adjustment for a team that has scored goals in three straight away games (5 in 7 road games), but it’s unclear if they can strike the correct balance in this upcoming game. With a victory over Heidenheim, Mainz might be able to avoid relegation. The visiting team’s injured players include Thomas Keller, Elidon Qenaj, and Omar Traore, while Marnon Busch, the defender, is expected to be sidelined due to illness. Patrick Mainka ought to be kept at bay by the opposing back line.
