Team News

Mainz
Stuttgart
  • Andreas Hanche-Olsen is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow last weekend. Key man Jonathan Burkardt will only return in the summer after a knee operation, and Silvan Widmer will be out for several weeks with a heel injury.
  • Anton Stach missed the last game through illness but should return to the squad. Dominik Kohr and Leandro Barreiro will both return after suspension. Robin Zentner has a back injury, while Alexander Hack has problems with his adductors.
  • Atakan Karazor is available after suspension, while Konstantinos Mavropanos and Dan-Axel Zagadou are both struggling with muscle injuries.

Prediction

  • Three-time Bundesliga champions Stuttgart have only lost once in six games under new coach Sebastian Hoeness but still sit one off the bottom, two points from safety.
  • Stuttgart have suffered five sending offs this season, so team discipline will be a factor in this game.
  • Mid-table Mainz will look to bounce back from three successive defeats, which have damaged their European qualification hopes.
  • The reverse fixture ended in a 1-1 draw and the same result would be no surprise again.
