In a mid-table showdown, 1. FSV Mainz 05 welcomes SC Paderborn 07 to the Mewa Arena in pursuit of crucial points. Having won their previous two league matches, Mainz will look to extend their positive form against a Paderborn side struggling to find consistency, with their last win coming in February.
