These two teams have met only twice so far. Both encounters were in the DFB Pokal, and Mainz beat their next Bundesliga opponent both times. The previous meeting was three years ago, when it was 1-0 in Elversberg.
Elversberg team overview
Only a few years ago, Elversberg played in the fourth tier, and probably no one could imagine them as a mid-table Bundesliga team only a few seasons later. Of course, avoiding relegation is still the only goal for Vincent Wagner's team, but ten points from the first seven matches provide more than enough optimism. However, after an excellent start, Elversberg are facing their first crisis with only one victory in the last six matches across all competitions. In their last game, they lost 2-0 at home in the DFB Pokal to Darmstadt. The hosts dominated, controlling possession with 74% and creating far more goal-scoring opportunities, but Elversberg's inefficiency left them empty-handed.
Elversberg's head coach, Vincent Wagner, was disappointed after a cup defeat. He stated, "The lads put in a good performance until the 75th minute. We made two small errors in our play, which are brutally punished at this level. We lacked that final bit of luck, and we want to do better against Mainz on Friday."
Elversberg have some problems with injuries. They will be without Jan Gyamerah, Tom Zimmerschied, Luis Seifert, and Noah Darvich on Friday night.

Mainz team overview
Mainz are one of the most stable mid-table Bundesliga teams in recent years, and they are on course for another similar season. Urs Fischer's team have collected ten points so far, the same number as their upcoming opponents, Elversberg. However, like the hosts, Mainz have struggled for form recently, losing three of their last four matches across all competitions. In their most recent outing, Mainz lost 2-0 away to Bochum in the DFB Pokal. The visitors didn't play well, and they deservedly ended their cup journey.
Mainz lost in mid-week to Bochum, and the head coach, Urs Fischer, talked about what his team lacked. He said, "We were fearful, lacked energy and dynamism, and were inaccurate. We lacked conviction from the very first minute. It was a really poor performance from us, and we have to accept that."
Dominik Kohr, Silas, and Otto Ruoppi are unavailable for Friday. Also, Nadiem Amiri are questionable.
