…NGANKAM AND AMIRI

These are both players who will be good for us. It can be assumed that both are in the squad. We'll see whether they're already in the starting line-up.

…WIN

If we are not successful in both games, we have to think about other things. If we win both games, we have a good chance of getting out of the entire relegation battle. We can still prevent everything that can happen.

…MAINZ

I thought Mainz's performances in the last few weeks were better than the results suggest. Mainz has a good team and a clear idea of how they want to play. You have a lot of Bundesliga experience and will certainly strengthen Mainz.

LEAGUE TABLE

We would be wise to focus all the energy we have on the next task. We don’t look any further than that, you don’t always have to open up the big picture.

ABOUT MATCH

The stadium will be full and atmospheric. It will be a competitive and hectic game because Mainz plays very straight and won't give us much breathing space. We respect the task and know that we will be challenged in all areas. But we still have the confidence to score points again.
