Wolfsburg kicked off their campaign with a 2-0 victory at Augsburg, but the Wolves have failed to win since. Goalless draws with 1. FC Köln and TSG 1899 Hoffenheim were followed by defeats to Borussia Dortmund and SV Werder Bremen, a sub-par run of form that leaves Dieter Hecking's side closer to the relegation zone than the European places.

UEFA Europa League participants Mainz have fared only marginally better in their pursuit of a second successive season of continental football. The 05ers have two more points on the board than Saturday's hosts thanks to wins over FC Augsburg and Bremen and an avoidable draw with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, but begin the weekend having shipped the second highest number of goals in the Bundesliga after five matches (11).
