Stuttgart vs Mainz Prediction and Betting Tips | February 11th 2024

Still licking their wounds for their DFB Pokal exit, Stuttgart take on Mainz at the MHPArena in round 21 of the German Bundesliga on Sunday.

Both sides have had contrasting campaigns, with Jan Siewert’s men currently languishing in the relegation zone while the hosts are on course to secure Champions League qualification.

Stuttgart were dumped out of the DFB Pokal on Tuesday when they fell to a 3-2 quarter-final defeat against Bayer Leverkusen at the Bay Arena.

Sebastian Hoeneß’s men now return to action in the Bundesliga, where they are on a two-game winning run, claiming consecutive victories over RB Leipzig and Freiburg respectively.

Stuttgart have enjoyed a stellar league campaign and are currently third in the league table with 40 points from 20 matches, 12 points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen.

Elsewhere, Mainz suffered a fresh blow in their battle for survival as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Union Berlin at Mewa Arena.

Siewert’s side have now gone 10 consecutive Bundesliga games without a win, losing four and claiming six draws since November’s 2-0 victory over Leipzig.

With 12 points from 20 matches, Mainz are currently bottom but one in the league table, just one point above last-placed Darmstadt.
