Mainz vs Wolfsburg Prediction & Betting tips
The table doesn’t lie. FSV Mainz 05 is playing the worst Bundesliga first round in their own club history. In the English week, the last game day of the first half series is on the program and at the moment it can be said that the Rheinhessen are only conditionally suitable for the Bundesliga. The opposite has to be proven on Tuesday at home against VfL Wolfsburg.
In the Bundesliga table, the 05ers are after 16 match days with an incredibly weak seven points, only because of the better goal difference, ahead of FC Schalke in 17th place. Up to the relegation place, five points are currently missing. The saving bank is seven meters away. The Mainz team has to catch up, and it is best to start on the last day of the first half of the season.
It looks much better with the wolves. It is not for nothing that the odds comparison of the betting base casts Lower Saxony as clear favorites. Oliver Glasner’s team has 26 points on their account. Up to third place and qualifying for the Champions League there are only three points. Therefore, it should be clear that in the game Mainz against Wolfsburg, the prognosis is in the direction of an away win.
Against the top teams in the league, including Bayern and Dortmund, the Mainz team kept up well and achieved respectable successes. But that’s not enough to keep the class. A victory must be here on Tuesday, although the tendency between Mainz and Wolfsburg is very clearly towards a tip on the guests.
Mainz :
Are Christian Heidel as sports director, Martin Schmidt as sports director and Bo Svensson as the new coach the new saviors in Mainz? If this shot backfires, then the 05er should hardly be salvable. At the moment, however, it doesn’t look like there will be Bundesliga games to be admired in Mainz in the coming season.
In the last 17 competitive games there was just one win for Mainz. They were eliminated in the DFB Cup at home against the second division club from Bochum. At the moment there is actually not very much to suggest that there is still a trend reversal among the Rheinhessen. That is why it looks like the odds on a guest win in the game Mainz against Wolfsburg are the better choice.
However, there is also a glimmer of hope. The Mainz team were guests in Dortmund on Saturday. With luck and skill you took a point at 1: 1. Levin Ă–ztunali even happily brought the 05er 1-0 up. A missed penalty by BVB was gratefully accepted. One point in Dortmund could possibly serve as a breast loosener. In any case, this counter was important for the mood.
It looks like Bo Svensson will be able to let off steam in the line-up on Tuesday. Only Pierre Kunde Malong is on the Bundesliga injured list. All other actors should be fit. In general, there doesn’t seem to be any great need to change anything in the starting XI. Above all, the freshness of the individual players should be a decisive factor against the wolves.
Wolfsburg :
Wolfsburg is one of the teams this season who can certainly hope to participate in the Champions League. Oliver Glasner’s team looks very stable and with Wout Weghorst they have an outstanding striker who has already scored eleven goals this season. Overall, the structure works very well with the Lower Saxony.
In the last 16 competitive games, the Wolves only suffered two defeats, in Munich and Dortmund, where you can definitely lose. Maybe Lower Saxony shared the points one or two times too often, otherwise you would be among the top four in the league. But that still means that between Mainz and Wolfsburg the forecast is for a victory for the guests.
Last weekend the wolves hosted the cops from Leipzig. In a high-class game, the two opponents separated with a 2-2 draw. After a few minutes Leipzig took the lead, but at the break VfL was leading 2-1 thanks to goals from Wout Weghorst and Renato Steffen. The Saxons came to the compensation in the second section, which is okay on balance.
On Tuesday, coach Oliver Glasner will be able to fall back on Maximilian Arnold. Probably the strategist will move straight to the starting line-up. Overall, there are numerous options. Maximilian Philipp or Admir Mehmedi would also be conceivable as starters. Only Jerome Roussillon and Marin Pongracic are still missing.
