Mainz 05 II desperately need points on Saturday, Feb 27 at 2:00 PM in the Regionalliga Südwest. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Aalen come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Mainz 05 II travel struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Despite playing at home, Aalen face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Mainz 05 II have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 3 draws. Their last encounter ended in Mainz 05 II won 1–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Aalen clear favorites, but Mainz 05 II have shown they can grind out results. Expect Aalen to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
