Prediction: 1-1
Schalke
Mainz play host to Schalke at their Mewa Arena in what is a game of big importance for the visiting side. Die Knappen are one point behind the safe zone in the Bundesliga standings and they have no other option but to go all guns blazing at die Nullfunfer. Experienced midfielder Dominick Drexler, who scored a late winner against Werder Bremen, is pushing for a start, while all Moritz Jenz, Eder Balanta, Tim Skarke, Ralf Farhmann, Sichiro Kozuki, and Justin Heekeren remain in the recovery room.
The hosts, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss at Wolfsburg. Mainz, though, are tough to beat at home and we predict that they are going to share the spoils with the relegation-threatened visitors on Matchday 31. As for the home side, captain Silvan Widmer has joined Jonathan Burkardt in the recovery room.
