Mainz have become one of the main open starts of the season in the Bundesliga. Bo Svensson’s team is one step away from the Champions League zone. Having given out several cool matches at the start, the “carnivalists” got into a crisis in mid-September. Three defeats in a row from Bayer (0:1), “Union” (1:2) and Borussia (1:3) gave rise to the mentor for anxiety. The thing is that last season Mainz overcame such a crisis at the finish line with great difficulty and narrowly avoided relegation, but this time they managed to avoid serious consequences. The carnivalists were able to interrupt the series of failures in the ninth round, defeating Augsburg with a score of 4:1 and in the last meeting Mainz minimally beat Arminia, having managed to rise to fifth place in the table.
The Rockets probably dont realize how deep their problems are. The head coach cannot stage the game in any way, the team is in the restructuring mode, plus there is no clearly pronounced leader who, against the background of his teammates, would give a result. And one victory since the beginning of the season confirms this. Houston have lost five matches in a row, which clearly negatively affects the microclimate in the team. You can imagine how difficult it is now for Stephen Silas, but the management chose the position to start everything from scratch. In the last meeting, the rockets tried to take revenge on the Lakers, but nothing came of it (117-119).
