Mainz 05 have been battling for survival in the Bundesliga since their debut in 2009, but they have struggled to maintain their position in the league. In recent weeks, they have drawn a crucial match against SC Freiburg at home, where they will look to take advantage of a strong defensive record of the visitors.

SC Freiburg has a strong attacking lineup, and their experienced players have proved their worth in previous matches. However, Mainz 05's defense has been struggling recently, as they have conceded goals that were not expected from the opposition's attacking play.

Despite this setback, Mainz 05 is still fighting for a spot in the top flight. They need to find ways to score more goals in order to improve their chances of staying in the league. The team's coach, Jupp Heynckes, believes that the key to success lies in improving the quality of their defense.

He has made several changes to his squad during the past few months, including bringing in experienced defenders such as Thomas Noke and Christian Benteke. These additions have helped Mainz 05 to create more opportunities for their attacking players, which has led to increased goalscoring.

In addition to the defensive improvements, the team also needs to focus on improving their goal-scoring efficiency. With a strong attack, they can often score goals in close games, but relying solely on the offensive threat can be dangerous if they don't manage to convert some of those chances into goals.

Overall, Mainz 05 has had a tough time this season, but they remain hopeful that they can turn things around. If they can improve their defensive record and find ways to score more goals, they may be able to stay in the top flight of the Bundesliga. But until then, they will need to continue working hard to improve their performance on the pitch.
