Mainz 05 host VfB Stuttgart at MEWA Arena, Mainz on Saturday, May 22 at 3:30 PM in the Bundesliga.
Mainz 05 come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 1L). VfB Stuttgart travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 4), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Mainz 05 won their last outing, while VfB Stuttgart suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
Despite playing at home, Mainz 05 face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. VfB Stuttgart have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in a 2–2 draw. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Mainz 05 clear favorites, but VfB Stuttgart have shown they can grind out results. Expect Mainz 05 to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
