The difference is there. But in the last two games, it has ended in a draw. The first was a goalless draw, while the second was a 1-1 draw.
So, it is hard to tell how this season’s meetings would go. Freiburg has been the better side since the start of the season. Meanwhile, FSV Mainz is not far behind.

We can’t tell if the current Bundesliga standing would affect the result, but there are only three points between both teams. As a result, we can tell there is a good chance it favors the better team so far.
Mainz would certainly put up a fight, and we expect them to push for a win. That way, they can cover the points between both sides.
And they will get to close in on the top spots. However, Freiburg, on the other hand, would want to maintain their solid start to the season to keep the pressure on the top teams.
Freiburg
Since the start of the season, Freiburg has been bossing it. They’ve had an impressive start to the season. Although they lost 3-1 to Dortmund, the team has had an impressive run since then.
After the loss, Freiburg has only gotten two draws. One was against Borussia Monchengladbach, and the other was against Hoffenheim.
Aside from that, they’ve won others, including their Europa League match against Olympiacos. So, we can see that Freiburg is a serious team, and they are ready to fight any other team.
They’ve scored ten goals and only conceded five. They are three points from the top with only seven games played.
Expectations for Freiburg
It is still early in the season. Therefore, there are still plenty of things that would happen. There are more games to come.
So, the table won’t remain the same at the end of the season. However, if the team can maintain their good start to the season, they can push for a top-six finish and make it to Europe next season.
Mainz
With three wins, two draws, and two losses, FSV Mainz’s start to the season hasn’t matched up to Freiburg’s.
They’ve experienced a few more games that they’ve struggled with and didn’t get anything from. One was against Bayer Leverkusen, and the other was against 1899 Hoffenheim.
A Solid Team
Aside from those two losses in the league, Mainz has been a solid team. They beat Bochum, Augsburg, and Monchengladbach.
So, they are showing that they, too, are ready to fight for a top finish this season and take their chance in Europe. It isn’t an easy feat, given how formidable other teams are, but they sure would get close at this rate.
They currently have 11 points from the possible 21. It isn’t too bad, but they can always improve it if they want to finish high.
Therefore, we expect the coach to find the right players to enter the squad and represent the team in the coming games. Mainz would sure be ready for a massive fight from Freiburg.
