Mainz 05 faces Borussia Mönchengladbach this weekend in a critical Bundesliga clash. The home side sits at the bottom of the table with just one league win all season. Interim coach Benjamin Hoffmann will take charge for what may be his only match in the role.
The struggling side will be without key players for the fixture. Suspensions rule out Dominik Kohr and Paul Nebel, while goalkeeper Robin Zentner remains sidelined through injury. Hoffmann steps in after the club’s recent poor run, which includes a midweek DFB-Pokal exit for Gladbach.
The match marks a pivotal moment for Mainz as they seek to climb out of the Bundesliga basement. Hoffmann’s temporary leadership will be tested before a new permanent coach takes over. The result could shape the club’s approach in the coming weeks.
