Match Preview
Mainz has found some much needed rhythm lately. They are unbeaten in five home games which has helped them pull away from the bottom three. Still, the task gets harder this weekend as they face a side chasing a prestigious Champions League spot in the division standings.
The major headache for the hosts is the absence of Nadiem Amiri. With ten goals and a 0.54 per 90 average, he is their most vital spark. Missing an important player like him means the 3-3-2-2 system will need others to find the net.
Defensively, Mainz relies on the discipline of Stefan Posch and Dominik Kohr. Posch is a mainstay who averages 90 minutes per match. They concede only 1.17 goals at the Mewa Arena which is a decent record against the league's top performing offensive units lately.
Stuttgart is a joy to watch when they travel. Averaging 2.25 goals per away game, they possess the second best road attack in the division. Deniz Undav is the man to watch, having already netted 14 times this season with a clinical 0.87 average.
The absence of Bilal El Khannouss through suspension is a blow for the visitors. He has been a frequent starter providing balance in the midfield. Even so, the 4-2-3-1 formation remains dangerous with players like Chris Führich and Jamie Leweling supporting the lethal Undav.
History suggests goals are likely whenever these two meet. Stuttgart has seen three or more goals in each of their last four games. That said, both managers will be wary of tactical slips. Make sure to follow our Germany Bundesliga Predictions for more upcoming matches.
VfB Stuttgart prepares to face Mainz 05 and a familiar face in Silas, who recently joined the Rhine side to secure more playing time. Stuttgart manager Sebastian Hoeneß acknowledged the winger's undeniable quality and infectious personality, noting that internal competition limited his opportunities at the Neckar. After previously scoring against his former club for Red Star Belgrade, Silas remains a dangerous threat as Mainz seeks continued stability.
The recent discipline of both squads suggests a match with limited interruptions from the referee. Looking at the numbers, 3 of the last 5 home fixtures for Mainz 05 have finished with fewer than 4.5 cards shown. This team tends to stay composed in front of their own supporters. Mainz averages 2.5 cards per home game, which is quite manageable.
Stuttgart travels with a remarkably clean record this season. In fact, 5 of their last 5 away matches have seen the total card count stay under 4.5. They average only 1.75 cards received when playing on the road. With Matthias Jöllenbeck officiating, we expect a game focused on football rather than bookings. Both teams have shown they can compete without excessive fouls.
