Wolfsburg vs Mainz: Will the Wolves guarantee themselves a place in the elite next season?

The 31st round of the German Bundesliga will open with a clash between Wolfsburg and Mainz. Both teams have been struggling with results in the Bundesliga in April, and both have lost their chances in the European competition. The bookmakers in the pairing favor the future hosts, Wolves, but believe that the Carnival side has a good chance of bringing home the points from the Wolves den.

Wolfsburg played three games in the Bundesliga in April, losing away to Augsburg and Dortmund in a dramatic fashion. On home soil, the Wolves were 4-0 stronger than Arminia. On Matchday 31, Wolfsburg are 13th in the German top flight with 34 points behind Stuttgart. It's unlikely that the Wolves will be relegated, but there's no guarantee that Wolfsburg will stay in the Bundesliga, so the motivation is all the same. But you can't say the same about the home statistics. Wolfsburg won only six of their 15 games at home in Bundesliga 2021/22, with two draws and seven defeats and a goal difference of 18-19. It should be noted, however, that in the last five home games the Wolves have won more often than they have lost. Well, one can not go past the fact that the Green and White are reluctant to play on the home field, only two draws, less only Bayern and Dortmund.

Mainz are 11 points ahead of Stuttgart, the team from the danger zone. The Carnival players are not yet formally guaranteed a place in the top flight, but there is no doubt that the 05ers will remain in Germany's top flight next season. The Mainz players themselves must have come to believe in their invincibility after the defeat at Arminia, otherwise how else can one explain the fact that Mainz picked up just two points in four games after the international break. First, the Carnival side was drawn at home to Gladbach. Then, they failed to beat Stuttgart at home, playing a 0-0 draw with the Swabians. In addition, Mainz lost away to Augsburg and Cologne. The away statistics for Mainz are 17th in the division, with just two points from 15 games and a goal difference of 15-28.

Wolfsburg and Mainz have a regular Total Over 1.5. In the last 10 fixtures between the Carnival players and the Wolves, this number has not been reached just twice. The forthcoming match is an offseason game, we can say, an exemplary one. With the off-season and the transfer window fast approaching, many players are keen to prove themselves to improve their contract terms or move to another club. In addition, the risks of relegation remain for Wolfsburg, so the Wolves need points. We believe that at least two goals will be scored in the upcoming match, and Wolfsburg will not lose on Friday. 1X+TO (1.5) for 1.90.

Wolfsburg have mediocre home stats but increased tournament motivation. Whereas Mainz have already practically closed the question of retaining a place in the elite next season, and this team does not claim a place in the Eurocup zone. Taking into account the line-up for the game, we consider it reasonable to give the second bet a clean win to the home team. W1 for 2.48.

Mainz have conceded twice from Augsburg and three times from Koln in their last two away games and the Carnival players have scored in each of those matches. For their part, Wolfsburg need a win, preferably a confident one. Our third bet is a 3-1 home win for 19.00.
