Mainz (dpa / lrs) - FSV Mainz 05 does not want to waste any thought on possible premature relegation before the Rhein-Main derby at Eintracht Frankfurt.
"We deal with this game as we did with any other before it," said coach Bo Svensson at an online press conference of the Rheinhessen on Friday.
The FSV has been unbeaten in eight Bundesliga games.
Svensson demands a better performance from his team than they did last in the 1-1 draw against Hertha BSC.
“We didn't keep our plan,” he complained with a view to the second half of the catch-up game on Monday and referred to the struggle of Eintracht for a Champions League place: “We need a complete performance to survive in Frankfurt.
Even if we play a top game, there is a team on the other side that is about a lot and has a lot of quality. "
With at least one change in personnel, the Mainz team will go into their third last game of the season: Alexander Hack will replace Stefan Bell, who has been suspended from yellow, in the three-man defensive chain.
Mainz had only fought seven points in the first half of the season.
With such a miserable record, no team has saved itself in the end.
