Mainz
LWWWLL
Mainz will be hoping to return to winning ways here after a 2-1 Bundesliga defeat last time out to Union Berlin.
In that game, Mainz managed 67% possession and 9 attempts at goal with 1 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Mainz was Nadiem Amiri (5'). For their opponents, Union Berlin got 12 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Benedict Hollerbach (1') and Robert Skov (24') scored for Union Berlin.
It has not been often in recent times where Mainz have kept a clean sheet. The facts show that Mainz have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 9 goals in the process.
A look at their previous results shows us that Mainz:
- have not registered a win against Stuttgart in their previous 9 matches in the league.
- have not been beaten in their last 5 league matches at home.
Stuttgart
WLWWWW 📈
Stuttgart go into this meeting following on from a 1-3 Champions League win over Slovan Bratislava in their last game.
In that game, Stuttgart managed 59% possession and 21 shots on goal with 7 of them on target. For Stuttgart, the goalscorers were Jamie Leweling (11', 36') and Fabian Rieder (87'). For their opponents, Slovan Bratislava got 6 attempts on goal with 2 of them on target. Idjessi Metsoko (85') was the scorer for Slovan Bratislava.
A series of outstanding performances by the Stuttgart defensive players has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 4 from their last 6 clashes combined. In that period of time, their forwards have scored 15. That aside, time will tell whether the trend will be maintained in this upcoming match or not.
Looking at the pre-match facts, Stuttgart:
- have not been beaten by Mainz when having played them away from home in the previous 4 league matches. A very decent away record against them.
- are unbeaten in their last 4 away league matches.
🤜🤛 Head to head
Looking over their prior head-to-head meetings going back to 16/04/2022 tells us that Mainz have won 0 of them & Stuttgart 3, with the number of draws being 3.
An aggregate of 21 goals were shared by the two clubs throughout the course of those matches, with 7 of them for Mainz and 14 created by Stuttgart. That’s an average goals per game figure of 3.5.
The previous league game featuring these clubs was Bundesliga match day 2 on 31/08/2024 when it finished Stuttgart 3-3 Mainz.
That day, Stuttgart managed 64% possession and 28 shots at goal with 12 on target. Goals were scored by Enzo Millot (8'), Jamie Leweling (15') and Fabian Rieder (88').
At the other end, Mainz got 11 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. Nadiem Amiri (43'), Jonathan Burkardt (62') and Maxim Leitsch (94') scored.
The referee was Timo Gerach.
📰 Team News: Mainz
Gabriel Vidovic (Ankle injury), Moritz Jenz (muscular problems) and Jonathan Burkardt (Thigh problems) will not be able to play for Mainz manager Bo Henriksen.
It looks as if Mainz could line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation for the game, utilising Robin Zentner, Danny da Costa, Stefan Bell, Dominik Kohr, Anthony Caci, Philipp Mwene, Kaishu Sano, Nadiem Amiri, Paul Nebel, Jae-Sung Lee and Nelson Weiper.
📋 Team News: Stuttgart
Stuttgart boss Sebastian Hoeneß has not got a full squad to pick from. Dan-Axel Zagadou (Outer ligament problems), Nikolas Nartey (Fitness), El Bilal Touré (Metatarsal fracture), Justin Diehl (Hamstring injury) and Luca Raimund (Hamstring injury) will miss out on this game.
We are inclined to think that Stuttgart could decide to make use of a 4-4-2 lineup, giving starts to Alexander Nuebel, Josha Vagnoman, Anthony Rouault, Ameen Al Dakhil, M. Mittelstaedt, Jacob Bruun Larsen, Atakan Karazor, Angelo Stiller, Chris Fuehrich, Deniz Undav and Nick Woltemade.
🔮 Prediction
Our assessment here is that Mainz could find themselves up against it to breach the defence of this Stuttgart side who we reckon should get a goal themselves and run out victorious.
We’re therefore expecting a very even match with a 0-1 winning score for Stuttgart at the conclusion of the game.
There should be little in it.
