“It feels really good, the team did a lot of things right. I think we deserved to go through to the next round,” said Danny da Costa after Mainz 05’s recent victory.
Mainz 05 has advanced to the Conference League quarter-finals for the first time in their history, following a 2-0 win against Sigma Olomouc. Goals from Stefan Posch in the 46th minute and Armindo Sieb in the 82nd minute secured the team’s progression.
Currently, Mainz 05 is positioned 13th in the Bundesliga table with 27 points, just three points clear of the relegation zone occupied by St Pauli. Despite struggling for wins in the league, the team has shown resilience, remaining undefeated at MEWA Arena across all competitions in 2026, with five wins and three draws.
Urs Fischer, the head coach of Mainz 05, emphasized the importance of self-belief, stating, “We want to believe in ourselves and be brave.” This mindset will be crucial as the team prepares for their next Bundesliga match against Eintracht Frankfurt on March 22, 2026.
Eintracht Frankfurt, currently sitting 7th in the Bundesliga with 38 points, will present a significant challenge for Mainz 05. The upcoming match is vital for both teams as they navigate their respective league positions.
Mainz 05’s last Bundesliga victory was a 2-0 win against Werder Bremen, showcasing their potential to compete effectively. The players, including Danny da Costa, Stefan Posch, and Dominik Kohr, will need to maintain their form as they aim to secure their place in the league.
As the season progresses, Mainz 05 will look to build on their recent successes in the Conference League while ensuring they remain clear of relegation threats in the Bundesliga.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential injuries or lineup changes ahead of the match against Eintracht Frankfurt. The focus remains on maintaining momentum and confidence as they approach this critical phase of the season.
