In-form Mainz will look to boost their chances to climb up the Bundesliga table when they host second-bottom side Schalke on Friday at the Mewa Arena, with kickoff slated for 18:30 GMT.
Key Highlights
Mainz are in good form in the Bundesliga. They are unbeaten in their last five outings. They have won two times and drawn in three matches. Their unbeaten run will be on the line when they host Schalke on Friday.
Schalke are fast running out of matches to ensure their survival in the league. With four matches remaining before the season ends, Schalke must start picking up points to help them in their survival fight. They have won two matches over the last five matches. Schalke currently sit 17th, second from bottom, with 27 points. They are just a point behind VfB Stuttgart and VfL Bochum, who are 15th and 14th, respectively.
