Stadium	The Opel Arena is one of the newest stadiums in Germany and Europe, opened in 2011. It replaced the old Bruchwegstadion, requiring a move across the city of a few kilometres. It is still in a very accessible location. The current stadium boasts a capacity of 34,000 and is made up of four steep stands that each have a unique character. The stands are also very tight and close to the pitch, contributing to the atmosphere.
Recent History	Although Mainz 05 were in the top tier of competition the year before the founding of the Bundesliga, they weren’t involved in the first season of the Bundesliga in 1963 and never reached the promised land of the top tier until several decades later. It was only in 2004, with a young Jürgen Klopp as coach, that they finally rose to the Bundesliga. They fell back down once, but Mainz 05 have been an established mid-table club in recent years. They’ve been in the top division since 2009 and their average position since then has been ninth, right in the middle of the standings. With a really good academy and with other good coaches such as Thomas Tuchel and Martin Schmidt, this club has been able to punch above its weight in recent years to the point where they’re no longer really considered underdogs.

Mainz enjoyed an excellent campaign last season as they secured their best ever finish since 2016 that saw them return to Europe with a sixth placed finish. Mainz overcame a slow start to the season and put up a great run midway through the campaign, even emerging as potential candidates for a top four finish, though loss of form in the final weeks saw them just about hold out for the sixth place. Bo Henriksen has overseen an improvement in Mainz since taking over back in February 2024 but faces a big test for the upcoming campaign after seeing his top scorer Jonathan Burkardt being sold to Eintracht Frankfurt. While that has been their only significant departure so far, Mainz have also failed to add convincing options to the squad this season. Benedict Hollerbach has been brought in as replacement to Burkardt but the attacker has failed to hit double figures in the two seasons with Union Berlin. Nelson Weiper is expected to see more minutes this season after brief cameo appearances last time around while Sota Kawasaki arrives on loan to improve their options in the center of the midfield, especially following Edimilson Fernandes and Tom Krauß's departures. Familiarity does offer stability to Mainz heading into the new season but an inexperienced attack could prove to be an Achilles heel for the club who will be hard pressed to repeat another European finish this time around.
