Mainz will begin their competitive engagements of the 2026-27 season when they start their DFB Pokal competition with a first-round game against Krieschow. This match on Sunday at Sportpark Krieschow between the fifth-tier ‘Blue and White’ and the Bundesliga club ‘05ers’ is likely to limit the goals for the visitors, with our match prediction backing under 7.5 goals.
This is the first-ever match for the hosts in this competition, while Mainz have crashed in the second round in each of their last three appearances of this tournament. The last time they went out in the first round, though, was back in 2019-20.
Krieschow were beaten 1-0 at home in their last match in the league, making it two defeats in as many matches to start their season. Going back to friendlies, three losses in the last four games (W1) isn’t an endorsing fact before their historical first match in the DFB Pokal.
However, the hosts will look to take advantage of Mainz’s rustiness. The visitors have yet to play a competitive match this season, although they were involved in a number of friendlies – eight to be precise. Seven of those ended in wins, while Mainz have scored 17 goals in their last six games, so the visitors could be up for a comfortable win.
