Stuttgart arrive at The MEWA Arena on Saturday for their Bundesliga showdown with Mainz. Here is an update on the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.
Mainz will be looking for an improved result here following a 2-1 Bundesliga defeat last time out to Union Berlin. We are thinking that Mainz should line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation in the match and select Robin Zentner, Danny da Costa, Stefan Bell, Andreas Hanche-Olsen, Anthony Caci, Kaishu Sano, Dominik Kohr, Phillipp Mwene, Paul Nebel, Jae-Sung Lee and Armindo Sieb.
Gabriel Vidovic, Moritz Jenz and Jonathan Burkardt won’t be playing for Mainz manager Bo Henriksen.
How Mainz could look for the game against Stuttgart
Stuttgart will go into the match following on from a 4-0 Bundesliga win to defeat Freiburg in their most recent fixture. We are inclined to think that Stuttgart seem likely to elect for a 4-4-2 formation, starting the game with Alexander Nubel, Josha Vagnoman, Anrie Chase, Anthony Rouault, Ramon Hendriks, Pascal Stenzel, Atakan Karazor, Angelo Stiller, Jamie Leweling, Ermedin Demirovic and Nick Woltemade.
Stuttgart manager Sebastian Hoeneß has to contend with a number of unavailable players. 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.
