The two sides could not be separated at the Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor as they played out a goalless draw. There were occasionally openings for both teams, but the relegation rivals each too make do with a share of the spoils that sees Die Lillien remain one point and one position above the 16th-places Nullfünfer.

Only Saarbrücken in 1963/64 (35 goals) and TeBe Berlin in 1976/77 (33) have conceded more goals after 10 matchdays than Darmstadt this season (32).

Mainz have not won any of their last nine Bundesliga games away from home.

Darmstadt have lost their last three Bundesliga games and their seven defeats from 10 games is as many as they suffered across the entirety of their promotion-winning season last year. Mainz, meanwhile, were 14 games without a win before getting up and running on Matchday 10.

This fixture already looks like a relegation six-pointer with hosts Darmstadt a point and two places better off than second-bottom Mainz. A win for either side would be significant, while a draw wouldn't help either team too much.
