Ritsu Doan is the main man tasked with unlocking Mainz's improving defense when Arminia Bielefeld travels for this relegation six-pointer on Saturday. Read our reasons for Mainz vs Bielefeld prediction and betting tips.
Mainz hauled themselves out of the bottom three for the first time since Matchday 8 with a 2-1 victory at Hoffenheim before the international break as their resurgence under Bo Svensson continued. It was their second win on the spin and fifth from 12 games under the Danish coach, compared to one from 14 before the 41-year-old took charge. Mainz is on a two-match winning streak for the first time this season and is out of the automatic relegation places for the first time in four months. A third consecutive victory would give them breathing space from Bielefeld, putting five points between the teams. The 05ers are the only side yet to beat one of the two promoted sides in Bielefeld and Stuttgart. They were, however, sweating on the fitness of Danny da Costa whose January loan from Eintracht Frankfurt has coincided with those five subsequent league wins. He picked up a hamstring injury in Hoffenheim and was replaced by Daniel Brosinski, who would again be ready to step in again if needed.
Mainz: Zentner - St. Juste, Bell, Niakhate (c) - da Costa, Barreiro, Kohr, Mwene - Boetius - Glatzel, Quaison
Out: -
Doubtful: Nebel (foot)
Coach: Bo Svensson
The importance of this match will not be lost on Bielefeld either, and they know that victory would see them leapfrog Mainz. Bielefeld has taken 12 of a possible 15 points against the current bottom four teams in the Bundesliga this season. Mainz has won none against the same opposition. That would firmly place the 05ers back in the heart of the relegation battle while bolstering the visitors' hopes of survival. Arminia has only scored two goals from outside of the area this season - both coming in the reverse fixture (a 2-1 win) against Mainz. Coach Frank Kramer picked up a first win in the job in their last away game - a 2-1 win at Bayer Leverkusen - and he will be relieved that Doan has recovered having missed recent Japan duty with a concussion he picked up in the 1-0 defeat to RB Leipzig. Doan leads the scoring charts for Bielefeld this season with four goals, one of which came in the earlier win over Mainz. Kramer will leave Amos Pieper behind after the Germany U21 center-back picked up his fifth yellow card of the season last time out, with Mike van der Hoorn set to step into the heart of Bielefeld's defense.
Bielefeld: Ortega - Brunner, Van der Hoorn, Nilsson, Laursen - Okugawa, Kunze, Prietl, Vlap - Doan, Klos (c)
Out: Pieper (suspended)
Doubtful: Maier (back), Schipplock (hand), Yabo (muscular)
Coach: Frank Kramer

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
