Mainz 05 vs Strasbourg H2H stats
This will be the first competitive meeting between Mainz and Strasbourg in European competition. However, both sides met each other last summer in a friendly, which ended 0-0.
Mainz 05 team overview
Mainz come into this match in excellent form, winning four of their last six matches across all competitions while remaining unbeaten in that stretch. Their recent run includes victories over Hoffenheim, Frankfurt, Werder Bremen, and Sigma Olomouc, although they benefited from a helping hand in the Round of 16, as the Czech side had a player sent off in the second half, which ultimately proved fortuitous for Mainz.
Statistically, Mainz have lost just two of their last 12 European matches (7 wins, 3 draws) and have kept clean sheets in their last three Conference League fixtures. They are also unbeaten in their last ten home European matches, winning the last six, which reinforces their strong home advantage at the MEWA Arena.
Squad depth remains solid with experienced players such as Nadiem Amiri, Silvan Widmer, and Jae-sung Lee providing balance between creativity and defensive organization, while young attackers like Nelson Weiper offer pace in transition.
