Prediction

  • Wolfsburg have secured Champions League football after Eintracht Frankfurt's recent implosion.
  • Mainz are one of the form sides of 2021, enjoying their best ever second half of the season with 30 points, as evidenced by a recent win over the champions Bayern.
  • But now safe from relegation, not showing any urgency in their play, Mainz slipped back to their old ways last week against Borussia Dortmund.
  • Wolfsburg have racked up 10 draws and Mainz nine and that could be the solution here again with honours shared.
