The "Swabians" are enjoying a successful season, currently positioned third in the championship, edging out Borussia Dortmund on additional metrics, albeit with a game in hand.

For Mainz, the season has been less favorable, as the team occupies the penultimate position in the Bundesliga, only ahead of Darmstadt based on additional metrics, despite also having a game in hand. They trail the 15th-placed safety zone by 9 points, with a mere three points separating them from the relegation playoff spot. Mainz has secured only one victory in 20 league matches, with a winless streak of 10 matches. In the last round, they played to a 1-1 draw at home against Union Berlin.
