MainzSitting in sixth with 51 points, Mainz are currently on track for Conference League football, with either Stuttgart or Arminia Bielefeld guaranteed a Europa League spot through their DFB-Pokal

Leverkusen are guaranteed to finish second behind Bayern Munich in the league this season, though they can beat Bayern's record by avoiding defeat in their next match

1. FSV Mainz 05 is really going for it today. Although they have a tough opponent in runner-up Bayer Leverkusen, the 05ers have been stepping on the gas pedal with both feet since the first minute and have already managed to get the ball past Hradecky four times. Nevertheless, the score is only 1:0. What's going on?!

Mainz and Bayer Leverkusen go head-to-head at Mewa Arena this Saturday in the 1. Bundesliga. Mainz currently have 51 points and lie in 6th position. In their last game, Bo Henriksen 's team won 1-4 against VfL Bochum (1. Bundesliga 2024/25).

Henriksen’s ability to get the best out of his players has unfortunately cost him, with three of their best players in Brajan Gruda, Leandro Barreiro, and Sepp Van Den Berg leaving the club after Mainz’s miraculous survival. And while this worried Henriksen at first, he saw it as just another motivational tool for his players.
