Mainz are coming after a bad run, proof that they recorded two draws and three defeats in the last five league games. After that run, the hosts are on the 11th position in Bundesliga, with 16 points in their acount. Mainz still have three points over the red line and they don’t have any concerns about this. Mainz will play a 4-4-2 formation and Nedelev, Hofmann, Baumartlinger, Moritz and Bunger are all injured.

Stuttgart had a very bad season so far. After the first 14 games, the guests are on the last position in Bundesliga and they need a victory here. With 12 points in their account, they could leave the relegation zone with three points this weekend. Stuttgart have a bad goal difference as well, with 18 goals scored and 31 conceded. Rudiger, Abdellaoue and Ibisec are injured and they will not travel with their teammates.

Mainz vs Stuttgart probable lineups:
Mainz (4-2-3-1): Karius – Brosinski, Bell, Noveski, Diaz – Geis, Soto – Allagui, Koo, Djuricic – Okazaki.
Stuttgart (4-2-3-1): Kirschbaum – Klein, Baumgartl, Niedermeier, Sakai – Gruezo, Gentner – Sararer, Didavi, Werner – Harnik.

Prediction: Over 2.0 goals AH @ 1.36
The odds are not so attractive right now for this bet, but the best ones could be found at Bet365. We expect an open game between these two sides and the defence is not their strongest points this campaign.
