Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
FSV Mainz
Match Time & Date:
26/09/2018
02:30 PM
Prediction: 2-1
Wolfsburg
Mainz continue with their habit of producing thrilling showings at home, while struggling on the travels. Die Nullfunfer suffered a 1-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen at BayArena at the weekend, but it has to be noted that they defeated the likes of Stuttgart and Augsburg in previous two home games in the national championship. Mainz are a real force to be reckoned with at home and despite the fact that Wolfsburg made a fine start to the season, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts. The Wolves failed to impress in a 3-1 loss to Freiburg in front of home fans at the weekend and given their poor away record, we do not believe that there is a big value in betting on the visitors. The two teams shared the spoils in previous five meetings in Bundesliga, but Mainz are closer to winning this one than Wolfsburg.

Highlighted Player (Jean-Philippe Gbamin):
Gbamin had spells with lower league clubs US Saint-Quentin Blessy and Aire-sur-la-Lys, before he joined RC Lens in 2007. The Ivorian footballer was born in San Pedro, Ivory Coast, in 1995 and, like most of Ivorian players, he tested his luck in France. During his stay in the second team, Jean-Philippe Gbamin impressed the club officials, which resulted in him braking into the first team during the 2013/14 Ligue 2 campaign.
The 22-year-old moved to Mainz 05 in 2016 after making 91 appearances for RC Lens. The Ivorian international is capable of playing at the heart of defense and the base of midfield. During the first two seasons, Gbamin has featured in 55 league games. His good performances caught the eye of Arsenal officials, but the German side rejected a record deal from the Premier League giants in order to keep one of their best players in the club.
Meanwhile, Jean-Philippe Gbamin signed a new four-year contract with Mainz. He played for France at the youth level, but he decided to represent Ivory Coast on senior level.
Highlighted Team (Wolfsburg):
Wolfsburg are a German football club founded in the aftermath of the World War II (1945). Die Wolfe (The Wolves) wear green and white shirts and they play their home games at Volkswagen Arena. The capacity of the stadium is 30,000 and it was opened on 13 December, 2002.
It is well known that German car manufacturer Volkswagen are the club’s main sponsors. Wolfsburg won the Bundesliga trophy in 2009 and the likes of Edin Dzeko, Grafite and Zvjezdan Misimovic were part of the club’s golden generation.
You should bear in mind that Grafite and Dzeko scored 54 goals between each other in the 2008/2009 Bundesliga campaign and that the team clinched the trophy thanks to a 5-1 win over Werder Bremen on 23 May, 2009. Die Wolfe won the German Cup trophy in 2015, with the team beating star-studded Borussia Dortmund 3-1 in the title game. Wolfsburg are a team that has no bitter rivals in German football.
