Freiburg have the ball in the back of the net for a sixth time tonight as Manzambi hammers in. However, Matanović was offside just before and it is therefore ruled out.

Wrapped up

That surely quashes any remaining Mainz hopes of getting something from this. It is a lovely goal from Manzambi, too, who drives towards the penalty are and plays a one-two with Suzuki before firing into the corner.

Half-time: Freiburg 2-0 Mainz

Freiburg are halfway to all three points after a dominant opening 45 minutes. Lukas Kübler and Vincenzo Grifo's goals gave them a comfortable advantage, and their task was only made easier when Paul Nebel received a red card for a poor tackle on Philipp Lienhart. Mainz have it all to do with only 10 men after the break.

Bo Henriksen on facing Freiburg

"Freiburg are calm. They play with the same plan as always. They take their chances, they play a sensible game. They are smart both with and without the ball. They're very, very good at counter-pressing - they are a really good team with a good plan and a good coach."

Freiburg frustrated

Julian Schuster's men maintained their unbeaten record in the Europa League in tightly contested but frustrating 0-0 draw away to Viktoria Plzeň in Czechia on Matchday 5, which saw them drop to fourth in the table, just one point off the top spot.

Mainz's perfect European run at an end

After three wins from their first three Conference League matches, Bo Henriksen's men finally dropped points on Matchday 4 in a close 1-0 away defeat in Romania to Universitatea Craiova, courtesy of a second-half penalty.

Black Forest dominance

Freiburg are undefeated in eight Bundesliga matches against Mainz (W6, D2. The 05ers have also never won at the Europa-Park Stadion (D3, L1).

Struggling Mainz

At home, the 05ers are winless in 11 Bundesliga consecutive matches, dating back to February, which is a running club negative record. Their one victory in the league this season came away from home (4–1 in Augsburg on Matchday 4), which may provide Bo Henriksen with hope ahead of the trip south.
