Stuttgart vs Mainz Prediction & Betting tips
The nineteenth round of this Bundesliga season will be opened on Friday evening by VfB Stuttgart and FSV Mainz 05. Who has the best credentials for a good result?
VfB Stuttgart:
VfB Stuttgart is still in great shape as a PhD candidate. The team from Baden-Württemberg has collected 22 points after eighteen matches. It is striking that the lion’s share of those points are taken in away games. Stuttgart is unable to find the winning formula in its own Mercedes-Benz-Arena. None of the home games played so far ended in a victory for the Stuttgarters.
Last Saturday, there was a loss, in a game in which that was not necessary. When visiting SC Freiburg, Stuttgart was the better of the two, but Stuttgart did not have its best day in the finish. Several top opportunities were left unused; Nicolas Gonzalez missed a penalty kick. With a disappointing 2-1 loss, Die Schwaben left the field. Compared to that game, many changes in the starting eleven are not obvious.
Mainz 05:
FSV Mainz 05 had a successful eighteenth round of play. Finally Die Nullfünfer managed to win another match, while the competitors at the bottom all lost. The victory that Mainz booked was a surprising one, as it came about in the match against RB Leipzig. Mainz managed to turn it into a fighting match, in which Leipzig never really got into its game. Moussa Niakhate was in exactly the right place twice to score a goal. With his Doppelpack he contributed significantly to the 3-2 victory.
Despite the victory, the polonaise in Mainz has certainly not started yet. The situation in the rankings is still worrying. With only ten points, the margin to the safe zone is still large. Still, the victory over Leipzig should give confidence for the coming games. For Jean-Paul Boëtius it was a shame that last weekend’s victory came about without him. Trainer Bo Svensson will probably leave the winning team, so there is normally no starting place for Boëtius.
