Mainz host Leverkusen with recent meetings running level
FSV Mainz 05 take on Bayer Leverkusen at the Mewa Arena on matchday five of the Bundesliga, with both teams arriving on the back of three wins from their last five outings. Mainz have gone WLWDW in that stretch, while Leverkusen have followed a WWDWL pattern, leaving the sides evenly matched heading into the fixture.
A fixture that keeps delivering goals
Their recent head-to-head history has rarely produced a quiet occasion. The most recent meeting in February ended 1-1 in Leverkusen, while the previous encounter at the Mewa Arena last October saw Mainz edged out 4-3 in a high-scoring contest. The pattern extends further back too, with a 2-2 draw in May 2025 and Leverkusen victories in January 2025 and February 2024.
Even form ahead of matchday five
With both clubs having won three of their last five league matches, there is little to separate them coming into this round of fixtures. Mainz will look to build on home advantage at the Mewa Arena, while Leverkusen will be aiming to add another result to a run that already includes three wins of their own.
