VfB Stuttgart

VfB Stuttgart put on a decent display in the midweek’s 1-0 away loss to Fenerbahce in the UEFA Europa League, but just couldn’t score.

That defeat should keep them alert in the Bundesliga, where they won five of their last six matches, including all their last four! They are in strong form now and should prove that against weak Mainz.

VfB Stuttgart didn’t score many goals in their seven games so far (11), but their defense has been stellar – only six allowed, which currently ranks them second-best behind Bayern Munich.

VfB Stuttgart was also spotless in their three home games so far, winning them all against Borussia Monchengladbach, St.Pauli, and Heidenheim without conceding a single goal.

Mainz

Mainz won only 1-0 against Zrinjski Mostar in their UEFA Conference League game, but played with a completely overhauled lineup. Still, they created many chances, which should give them some boost for the Bundesliga.

Regarding domestic performances, Mainz lost four of their last five Bundesliga matches, including all of the last three (both at HT/FT). They put on a solid display last week in the 3-4 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen, but still conceded a lot.

They are conceding twice per match on average this season and rank among the Bundesliga's worst defensive sides.

The Betting Verdict

VfB Stuttgart has remained undefeated in five of the last six Bundesliga duels against Mainz.

At home, VfB Stuttgart are unbeaten in five straight against Mainz, winning three and drawing twice.

Considering the current form and way of play, VfB Stuttgart should record their fourth straight home win in the Bundesliga in this match.

The Pick :

VfB Stuttgart 2-0 Mainz
