Mainz vs Strasbourg

Mainz welcome Strasbourg to Mewa Arena for the first leg of their UEFA Conference League quarter-final clash on Thursday.

Both teams are currently holding on to long unbeaten runs and are expected to test each other's resolve in this encounter.

Mainz News

Mainz have thrown out their early-season relegation fear thanks to an upturn in form. They are unbeaten in their last eight games, and grabbed a 2-1 win over Hoffenheim at the weekend.

Urs Fischer's side head into their first-ever European quarter-final full of confidence, having claimed four straight victories as well as a 2-0 aggregate win over Sigma Olomouc in the last 16. They have scored in seven of their last eight matches, with only three clean sheets kept in that run. Mainz have also played out a draw both times they've faced a French opposition.

The Zero-fivers can bank on their quick starts, opening the scoring in the last seven games; they've found the net. They are unbeaten in their last nine home matches and have won each of their last six European fixtures at the Mewa Arena. Meanwhile, over 2.5 goals have been produced in just four of their last 10 fixtures.

Strasbourg News

Strasbourg have enjoyed a longer unbeaten streak than their hosts, with five wins and five draws in their last 10 matches. They head to Germany full of confidence with back-to-back wins, including beating Nice 3-1 in their last outing.

La Racing dug deep to seal a 3-2 aggregate win over Rijeka in the last 16 to secure a first major European quarter-final since the 1979/80 campaign. They have scored in eight of their last 10, with just two shut-outs recorded.

Gary O'Neil's men are unbeaten in their last four away games, winning twice in that run. However, they have lost four of their six previous matches against German sides. They have been involved in open games, with over 2.5 goals recorded six times in their last 10.

Head to Head

Mainz have played Strasbourg once previously, and the friendly encounter ended in a goalless draw. This fixture will be the first time they have met in a competitive clash.

Verdict

Mainz v Strasbourg

Mainz tend to start on the front foot, scoring first in their last four matches. They should maintain the streak with the host tipped to take a goal lead.

Mainz have scored in seven of their last eight, and with no clean sheets in their last two, BTTS is likely. They have drawn both games against French teams, making another draw at Mewa Arena an appealing option.
