14th round of the German Bundesliga. Mainz is the biggest upset of the first season half so far. The Tuchel men are on table rank 6 and therewith direct behind HSV and ahead Bayern München.

After matchday 13 they are on table rank 6 and only 1 point behind forth placed team Hoffenheim. Above all at the Bruchweg-Stadium they are very strong.
