Although Mainz 05 has not been making the headlines in the Bundesliga this season, their home form is one of the team's biggest strengths and the envy of some clubs. With 11 wins from 24 games played and averaging 1.7 goals scored per home game, Mainz has shown fans and football enthusiasts that it is a tough opponent at the MEWA Arena. Also, the ability of Mainz to grind out results, especially in front of their fan, has been very important in avoiding relegation.
Mainz has shown that they are resilient by securing wins against strong teams like RB Leipzig and Borussia Mönchengladbach in recent away fixtures, although Mainz also lost to Hoffenheim and drew against Holstein Kiel. These inconsistent results is the reason why Mainz are middle of the table and not the upper half.
Mainz 05: Lineup
Main will likely stick to their famous 3-4-2-1 formation, which has helped the team get some valuable points, especially when playing at the Mewa Arena. Although Mainz has shown solid home form, the absence of Mwene, Nebel, and Leitsch could really affect the team, although Henriksen would make some tactical tweaks to account for the unavailability of these players.
Henriksen will turn to Brajan Gruda and Lee Jae-sung to provide support for Ajorque in attack, while Barreiro and Kohr will marshal the midfield and dictate the tempo of the game. In defence, the team has been very solid recently.
🔖 1. FSV Mainz 05 starting lineup (3-4-2-1)
Zentner – Hanche-Olsen, Bell, van den Berg – Widmer, Barreiro, Kohr, Caci – Gruda, Lee – Ajorque
⛔️ Out: Philipp Mwene (injured), Paul Nebel (injured), Maxim Leitsch (injured)
👤 Head coach: Bo Henriksen

VfL Wolfsburg: form and statistics
Wolfsburg’s recent form away from home in the Bundesliga has not been solid, as the team has won just two of their last six games played. Wolfsburg's defensive problems in tight games have cost the team, although there have been some promises shown in attack, evident by the 1.7 goals per game scored. Wolfsburg has mainly struggled to close some games, as shown in the narrow defeats to Union Berlin and Augsburg, while allowing three goals in their home loss to Leipzig.
There is pressure on Ralph Hasenhüttl to encourage the team so they can turn around the season. This is because Wolfsburg has lost four straight games in the Bundesliga. Some quality players are still in the squad, but the level of inconsistency within the team is the main Achilles' heel for the team.
VfL Wolfsburg: Lineup
Ralph Hasenhüttl will be required to make many tactical tweaks when the team plays Mainz, as the team is suffering from multiple squad absences due to injury and suspension. The tweak will involve the coach finding the right balance between experience and youth as Yannick Gerhardt is suspended, while Müller, Bornauw, Angélè, and Odogu are all ruled out due to injury.
The unavailability of Sebastiaan Bornauw implies Ralph Hasenhüttl will have to find a way to keep the defence compact. This will put some extra pressure and responsibility on Lacroix and Zesiger.
🔖 VfL Wolfsburg starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
Casteels – Baku, Lacroix, Zesiger, Rogerio – Arnold, Svanberg – Wimmer, Majer, Cerny – Wind
⛔️ Out: M. Müller, D. Odogu, M. Angélè, S. Bornauw (injured), Y. Gerhardt (suspended)
👤 Head coach: Ralph Hasenhüttl

A review of the team statistics and historic data shows that Wolfsburg is coming into this game struggling. Wolfsburg has lost five of its last six Bundesliga matches and has won just two of the last ten games. This shows that the defence has been a major concern as Wolfsburg has conceded 10 goals in the last 4 games. Mainz has been more solid on home grounds and has taken ten points from the available fifteen (5 home games). As Wolfsburg is missing key players while Mainz is hoping to bounce back from their recent dip, Mainz is the favourite.
