Stuttgart - Mainz Prediction, Picks and Tips

Stuttgart and Mainz 05 meet at Mercedes ‑ Benz ‑ Arena, in a match for the 19th round of the Bundesliga. In the last head-to-head for this edition of the league, on 26‑09‑2020, Stuttgart won away by (1‑4). The record of direct confrontations at this stadium is favorable to the visiting team, which in the last 3 matches won 2 and lost 1. Indeed, the last time these two teams met at this stadium was on 19‑01‑2019, in a match for the Bundesliga that ended with the victory of Mainz 05 by (2‑3). The home / away condition deserves particular attention, since despite this being a match between 10th and 17th in the league table, in reality it is a clash between the 15th ranked in home games and the 17th away from home.

The home team is currently in 10th position, with 22 points won, after 5 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Arminia Bielefeld by (3‑0). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Freiburg by (2‑1). Curiously, this is a team that has achieved more positive results abroad than in their stadium, since they won 17 points as a visitor and only 5 in their stadium. In their last 8 home games for the championship, Stuttgart drew 5 and lost 3, winning 5 points out of 24 possible. For this competition, he hasn't won at his stadium for 8 games. In the matches played in their stadium there are some more frequent results: at the end of the first 45 '0‑1 (3 out of 8 matches) and at the end of the match 2‑2 (3 out of 8 matches). His defense has not been very strong, since he has conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches, but his attack has scored regularly, as he has scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 18 games in this competition, he only managed 1 comeback in the 10 games in which he suffered the first goal. There are 2 periods that stand out in the last 6 home matches for all competitions: they have scored 3 of their 6 goals between minutes (76' ‑ 90 '); they have conceded 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (31' ‑ 45 '). Stuttgart come into this game after a 2x1 defeat at the Freiburg stadium visit, adding the second consecutive defeat in the Bundesliga: the only goal for the team was scored by Silas Wamangituka. In this game against Mainz 05, coach Pellegrino Matarazzo must present the team in a 3-4-3, to favor the maintenance of possession and organized attacks, especially through the flanks. Silas Wamangituka is Stuttgart's top scorer, with 10 goals scored. For this game the coach of the house cannot count on Maxime Awoudja, Borna Sosa, Philipp Forster, Clinton Mola, Lilian Egloff and Hamadi Al Ghaddioui, all with physical problems.

After 2 wins, 4 draws and 12 losses, the visiting team is currently in 17th position, with 10 points won. In their last match, they beat RB Leipzig at home by (3‑2), after having lost in the previous match at home, in a match against Wolfsburg, by (0‑2). This is a team little affected by the home factor, since they achieved similar results at home and abroad. In their last away match for this competition they drew (1‑1) against Borussia Dortmund. In their last 8 away matches for the championship, Mainz 05 has recorded 1 win, 2 draws and 5 losses, for which they have won 5 points out of 24 possible. For this competition, they have not won any of the last 9 matches. Their defense has not been very solid, since they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 18 games in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 11 times and only managed 1 comeback. In the last 10 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 5 of their 14 goals between minutes (76' ‑ 90 '). Mainz 05 comes to this day after a 3x2 victory with RB Leipzig, ending nine consecutive games without a win in this competition: the team's goals were scored by Moussa Niakhaté (2) and Leandro Barreiro. In this match against Stuttgart, coach Bo Svensson must play with a tactical system identical to that of the last match, 3-5-2, with Karim Onisiwo and Robin Quaison largely responsible for tormenting the rival defensive line. For this game the coach cannot count on Pierre Kunde, injured, and he still has Edimilson Fernandes, Leandro Barreiro, Dominik Kohr and Daniel Brosinki in doubt.
