VFB 1921 Krieschow Team Overview
Krichow are not just a modest club - they are several levels below. They play in the Oberliga, and a match against a top-flight side is a chance to show what they can do and get a look at players you would normally only see on television. As for their competitive season, there is not much to be encouraged by: in their opening fixtures Krichow lost, scoring just one goal and conceding four. There is simply no realistic chance of them getting anything against Mainz, who will almost certainly use the occasion to run the rule over their squad players.

Mainz Team Overview
Mainz have a good opportunity to ease into the season without expending too much energy - the real battles are still to come. The club will clearly be targeting a strong Bundesliga campaign, so managing the workload over a long season matters. Their pre-season was decent: seven friendlies played, six won, no defeats, and the defence was close to impeccable. The main question going into this match is whether they will look to run up the score or settle for a comfortable win. Beyond that, there is little else to wonder about.
