Prediction

  • Stuttgart lost to Leverkusen in the DFB Pokal on Tuesday, but do enjoy 24 hours more rest and recuperation than relegation-haunted Mainz who played a rearranged Bundesliga game the following day.
  • Despite a change in coach, Mainz have scored only 15 goals and languish one off the bottom, having won just once all season and a joint-league-high nine draws preventing any upward trajectory.
  • Third-placed Stuttgart bounced back from back-to-back defeats after the winter break with impressive league wins over Leipzig and Freiburg.
  • Stuttgart won the reverse fixture 3-1, but Mainz are fighting for their lives at the bottom so back a stalemate at good odds.
