Come up unlucky
da Costa recorded five shots (zero on goal), seven crosses (four accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw against SC Paderborn.
Analysis: Da Costa failed to get a shot on target Saturday, registering five off-target attempts while sending seven crosses (four accurate) and making three tackles in a busy outing. He is entering his fifth season with Mainz and has been a consistent starter over the past few years. He finished the 2025/26 campaign with two goals and three assists in 34 appearances, averaging 4.6 clearances per match while recording 43 tackles.
Option off bench
da Costa (head) is on the bench for Saturday's season finale against Heidenheim.
Analysis: da Costa returned to full contact training Friday after being restricted to non-contact sessions throughout the week following the head injury that forced him off after just 15 minutes of last Sunday's clash against Union Berlin. Coach Urs Fischer had offered a cautiously optimistic assessment, noting nothing serious had emerged, and the coaching and medical staff cleared him for a place in the squad after consulting ahead of the final fixture. The club opted to manage his return carefully with a bench role rather than throwing him straight back into the starting lineup given the nature of the injury.
