On upcoming Sunday
1. FSV Mainz 05 hosts
1. FC Kaiserslautern in the 3rd round of the
German Bundesliga. Both teams started with two wins in this Bundesliga season.
The previous season 2009/10 was the best for FSV Mainz in history. Tuchel´s side finished the season on rank 9. Especially in the home matches they were very strong (9 wins, 6 draws, 2 defeats). Whether can Mainz bring this year a similarly strong achievement? The start was perfect. Tuchel´s side faces rank 3 after two wins. The 2:0 opener win against VfB Stuttgart followed a 4:3 at VfL Wolfsburg.
As well as Mainz also 1. FC Kaiserlautern have six points after two rounds. The promoted team leads together with 1899 Hoffenheim the league table. Kaiserslautern celebrated a 3:1 win in the opening round at 1. FC Köln. The second matchday brought an unexpected 2:0 home win over FC Bayern München. Midfielder Ivo Iličević, goal scorer to 1:0, saw the yellow-red card in the final phase and so he will miss the away game at FSV Mainz.
