Mainz
In Matchday 18, Bo Henriksen's side suffered a 1-2 defeat to Union. This result extended the team's uncompromising streak in the Bundesliga to nine matches (6 wins, 3 losses). The club is in 6th place in the standings, with only a one-point lead over their closest rival, Wolfsburg. Notably, Mainz has conceded just 10 goals in their home matches in the 2024/25 Bundesliga, with only three teams boasting better defensive records.
- The team has scored at least two goals in their last four home matches in this tournament.
- Opponents have scored exactly twice in 5 of Mainz's last 7 home games in the Bundesliga.
- The club has opened the scoring in their last five home matches in the league.
Stuttgart
In the previous round, the team thrashed Freiburg 4-0. The club has been performing well recently, with Sebastian Hoeneß's side losing only once in their last eight league matches (6 wins, 1 draw). Such successful results have lifted Stuttgart to 4th place in the standings, the highest position they have reached in this Bundesliga campaign. Notably, the club has conceded just three goals in their last five league matches, the best record among all participants in this segment.
- The team is unbeaten in their last four away matches in the Bundesliga (2 wins, 2 draws).
- Exactly four goals have been scored in 6 of Stuttgart's last 8 away league games.
- The first half ended in a draw in 9 of the club's last 10 home matches in this tournament.
Mainz vs. Stuttgart: Match Prediction
Mainz has been delighting their fans in recent home matches, going unbeaten in their last five league games at home (4 wins, 1 draw). The success in those matches is linked to the team's strong attacking performances, with Bo Henriksen's side scoring in all five of their recent Bundesliga games. Notably, Mainz has found the net against top teams like Borussia Dortmund (3-1) and Bayern Munich (2-1) during this stretch. However, the club's defense has not been as reliable, conceding in 7 of their last 9 home league matches.
Stuttgart has also been performing well recently and regularly scores even in away Bundesliga matches. Sebastian Hoeneß's side has scored in 14 of their last 16 away league games. However, Stuttgart's defense has been less solid, conceding in 6 of their last 8 away matches in this tournament. I expect a high-scoring game with both teams finding the back of the net. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
