Head coach Marco Rose, Willi Orbán and Benjamin Henrichs on the 2-0 defeat against Leverkusen

It was a bright start: following a shock 1-0 win at the start of the season at home to RB Leipzig, in which several Mainzer Covid cases caused Bo Svensson to make several emergency changes, young players like Niklas Tauer and Paul Nebel received praise for their top performances. By the end of the season, though, it has unfortunately been the case that these young players have not kept their place in the 1. FSV Mainz 05 team as may have been wanted.

VfB take on Borussia Mönchengladbach at the Mercedes-Benz Arena on Saturday (kick-off 15:30 CEST). Here are the facts on the clash with the Foals.

“Union and Berlin have become my home. My time here has certainly been marked by highs and lows, with the good moments far outweighing them. Saying goodbye on the last matchday was very difficult for me, so it’s all the nicer to be back here and to continue to be part of the team,” said Jakob Busk after his contract extension.

Matchday 15 will see a battle between two teams who are near-neighbours in the league table, with tenth-placed Hoffenheim taking on eighth-placed Wolfsburg. In terms of current form however, things could hardly be more different. The Wolves are on a roll, having gone eight games unbeaten and winning their last three. The hosts meanwhile have won just one of their past five, slipping to three defeats during that period with a 1-1 draw with 1. FC Köln also in the mix.
