Stuttgart vs Mainz: Will the Swabians break their losing streak?

The thirteenth round of the German Bundesliga will start with the match between Stuttgart and Mainz. Mainz are well above the Swabian side in the standings despite their financial possibilities and are deservedly regarded as slight favourites for the upcoming game.

Stuttgart

Stuttgart’s terrible streak continued after the international break. Last weekend, the Swabians lost 1-2 to Borussia Dortmund, although they could avoid losing in that game. As a result, Stuttgart are winless for the fourth time in a row in official matches since the second leg against Hoffenheim in October. Unsurprisingly, Stuttgart drop into the danger zone in the standings, with the Swabians in 16th position before the 13th round, one point ahead of Arminia. Stuttgart’s home statistics are 14th in the division, +2=1-3, 12:10 goal difference.

Mainz

The Carnival players had a slump in September and October, but after the defeat in Dortmund, the ‘05ers have been without a bitter defeat for five consecutive games. They knocked Arminia out of the German cup, finished above Augsburg and Arminia in the league, and drew with Mönchengladbach and Koln. Thanks to their consistently positive results, Mainz remain at the top of the table, only two points behind Wolfsburg, who are only two points clear of the Eurocup zone. As away games, Mainz have the eighth statistic, +2=0-3, 5:7. We note the Carnival side’s poor record in away games.

Expert Betting Tips

Stuttgart had a good, albeit away, match against Dortmund and could bring at least a draw from the Signal Iduna Park. For their part, Mainz were unremarkable in their game against Cologne, with the Carnival players failing to hold on to the win and taking the lead first but conceding at the start of the second half. Last season, Stuttgart defeated Mainz twice, and the Swabian side has the potential to break their unpleasant losing streak finally. We believe that the home side has the advantage in terms of motivation and that motivation will help the Swabians not to lose at least at the Mercedes-Benz Arena. Here are the following betting odds: W1 for 2.87, Handicap 1 (0.25) for 1.73, Correct score 2-1 for 10.00.
