Team News

Mainz
Stuttgart
  • Jonathan Burkardt is on his way back from a knee op, while Silvan Widmer is recovering from a heel op. Ludovic Ajorque, Anthony Caci and Aymen Barkok have all returned to training. Maxim Leitsch has a knee injury, while Nelson Weiper is ruled out with a thigh injury.
  • Summer signing Deniz Undav is nearing a return from a knee injury. Josha Vagnoman has a broken foot and will be out for several weeks, while Nikolas Nartey has undergone knee surgery and may be out for the rest of the year. Woo-Yeong Jeong is away on international duty with South Korea for the Asian Games.

Prediction

  • Joint leading scorers VfB have won both their home games 5-0 but lost their only away outing 5-1 despite leading at the break.
  • Stuttgart won this fixture 4-1 on the penultimate day of last season, just one of two wins in their last 28 games on their travels.
  • Mainz have not won in eight games (including last season), but it's hard to split these two and a share of the spoils is the call here.
