1. FSV Mainz 05 have scheduled a friendly match against SV Waldhof Mannheim 07 for October 3. The game at the Seppl-Herberger-Stadion in Mannheim offers the team a final tuning opportunity before returning to Bundesliga action.
Mainz 05 head into the friendly with confidence. Under coach Bo Henriksen, the team sits sixth in the table with seven points from four matches. Their most recent performance was a spectacular 4-3 away win at Borussia Mönchengladbach, with goals from Phillip Tietz, Sheraldo Becker and Danny da Costa. This attacking firepower will also be needed against the third-division side.
Preparation for Leverkusen
The match in Mannheim primarily serves as preparation for the important home game on October 10. Mainz 05 will then host direct table neighbours Bayer Leverkusen, who currently sit in fifth place. Current form, with three wins from the last five competitive games, provides reason for optimism.
