During the Saturday game (15:30 CET/Sky), the Rhine-region team encounters a formidable challenge, but coach Bo Henriksen confidently asserts that his squad is prepared. Potential debutants Moritz Jenz and Hyun-seok Hong might don the Mainz jersey for the first time.
Meanwhile, in the 2nd tier football Bundesliga, 1. FC Kaiserslautern welcomes former Bundesliga outfit, Hertha BSC, for a significant match on Saturday night (20:30 CET/Sport1 and Sky). Kaiserslautern aims to preserve its undefeated streak in the fourth league game of the season.
VfB Stuttgart will be eager to build on their strong performances from the previous season, having finished as runners-up. Regardless of Mainz 05's confidence, they will need to be wary of VfB Stuttgart's attacking prowess in their upcoming Bundesliga clash.
