Fight for survival: Mainz meets weakening Fiorentina!
Today, November 6th, 2025, the two teams 1. FSV Mainz 05 and Fiorentina will face each other in the Conference League. Both teams find themselves in an awkward position not only in the international league but also in their domestic competitions. Mainz has only won one game in the Bundesliga so far and with only five points they are in a direct relegation zone. This is certainly not the dream start that the fans wanted. Before the game kicks off today at 2:46 p.m., let's take a closer look at the current challenges facing the two clubs.
Fiorentina, also in the bottom of the Serie A table, has so far only taken four points out of a possible 30. It seems as if both teams have to guard against relegation while also fighting for a ticket to the round of 16 in the Conference League. So far this season, both teams have picked up six points from two games in the international league and would therefore currently qualify.
The statistics speak for Mainz
Particularly interesting: Mainz have not conceded a goal in their last four competitive international games, which gives hope for a stable defense. However, there are difficulties on the offensive. The departure of striker Jonathan Burkardt has hurt the team, and the goal drought in recent games cannot be denied. In their last ten Serie A games, Fiorentina have scored just seven goals - a worrying record that further diminishes their chances of a win today.
The historical balance also reveals interesting facts. This encounter is the first between Mainz and Fiorentina in a competitive international match. Mainz certainly has an advantage when it comes to international appearances in Germany: Fiorentina has so far only won one of eight international away games in this country.
A look at the city of Mainz
The city of Mainz, capital of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate with almost 223,000 inhabitants, is known not only for its wine-growing tradition, but also for its cultural events, including the famous Mainz Carnival. In addition to historical sights such as the impressive Mainz Cathedral, Mainz is also represented in the sporting sector by the 1. FSV Mainz 05. The club has already celebrated promotion success in the Bundesliga in the 2007 season and is hoping for better times in football.
With a temperate oceanic climate, the city is considered one of the warmest places in Germany, even during the winter months. Mainz also has important river port protection on the Rhine, which plays an important role in transport and trade. The ZDF headquarters on the Lerchenberg also underlines the city's importance as a media location.
Given the current league situation and the international challenge ahead, a win seems essential for both teams. The betting odds suggest that the Double Chance 1X under 3.5 goals is 1.75 - a sign that a close game is expected.
The coming hours before kick-off are important for fans and players alike. One thing is certain: today is not only an important game on the agenda, but also a chance for a turnaround for both clubs, who urgently need points and self-confidence.
