1. FSV Mainz 05 drew 0-0 with SC Paderborn 07 in the Bundesliga, with a narrow possession split framing a match in which Mainz carried more of the attacking volume but Paderborn’s defensive structure held firm. Mainz used a 3-1-4-2 and recorded 51% possession, 21 shots and four efforts on target, producing 1.23 xG. Paderborn, set up in a 3-4-3, had 49% of the ball, 10 shots and an xG total of 0.73, although none of their attempts tested the Mainz goalkeeper. The key statistical difference came at the other end: Paderborn’s goalkeeper faced four shots on target and posted a 100% save percentage, with 0.7 goals saved above expected. Mainz’s greater shot count therefore did not translate into a breakthrough, while Paderborn kept the contest compact enough to preserve parity despite less attacking output. Tobias Stieler oversaw a match defined by balance rather than momentum. Both sides remain unbeaten from this fixture.
