LiontipsMainz vs Stuttgart. Prediction and bets on the Bundesliga match
Command Analysis
Current form
Right after the break, Mainz pleased their fans with a home win over Bochum (2:0). However, they failed to score a single point in two away matches – defeats to Bayer (0:1) and Union (1:2). Problems in attack were noticeable – they only made one shot on target against the Berliners, despite the fact that they needed to come back from behind. Even taking into account the last two failures, the Carnival team is still in sixth place in the Eurocup zone, but the gap to their closest pursuers is only one point. Perhaps today the home field factor will help Bo Henriksen’s charges to score points; they have not suffered a single defeat in their previous five matches at their home stadium.
Among the transfers, we note the appearance of Maloney, who came from Heidenheim.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vidovic and Burkardt will not play today due to injuries. Jenz appearance on the field is in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Mainz have not lost in the first half in four of their last five matches
- Mainz have scored at least two goals in their last four Bundesliga home games
Estimated line-up: Centner - Cor, Bell, Hansche-Olson - Kasi, Amiri, Sano, Mwene - Lee, Nebel - Zib.
Current form
Stuttgart have put together an impressive run of four wins in a row since the Christmas break. They have won three times in the Bundesliga, and this week they beat Slovan Bratislava 3-1 away. Thanks to the nine points they have earned in the championship during this period, the Swabians have overtaken Leipzig in the standings and moved up to fourth place, one point ahead of the Bulls. Sebastian Hoeneß men will undoubtedly try to build on their success today, but it will not be easy, as they have only three wins in eight Bundesliga away games.
Disqualifications and injuries
Zagadou, Narte, Dil, Raimund and Toure will not play in the upcoming match due to injuries. Millot will miss the match due to an accumulation of cards.
Interesting trends for betting
- Stuttgart have won in the first half in three matches in a row
- Stuttgart are unbeaten in four consecutive away matches in the Bundesliga (two wins, two draws)
Estimated line-up: Nübel - Wagnoman, Al-Dakhil, Rouault, Mittelstaedt - Bruun Larsen, Stiller, Karazor, Fürich - Demirovic, Woltemade.

10.00Tip and bets
Stuttgart is an inconvenient opponent for Mainz, but it is worth noting that the first round game ended in a productive 3:3 draw. The Swabians are currently on a four-game winning streak, but at the same time have a very busy schedule, which the hosts can take advantage of. Moreover, the carnival team is returning to their arena, where they have won four games in a row in the Bundesliga. We think the hosts will have a chance to score at least one point today.
Our prediction is Mainz will not lose at odds of 1.60
Bet on total
When choosing bets, you cannot ignore the statistics of personal meetings. In the four previous face-to-face matches, more than three goals were invariably scored, and in the first round game there were six goals scored. We recommend a betting tip for a total over with a high coefficient.
The second bet is total over three goals with odds of 2.23
Bet on the first half
Let pay attention to the fact that in seven of the nine previous personal meetings, a draw was recorded at the end of the first half. We don't think that today the opponents will immediately force the events on the field.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.34
