Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Following a 3-1 loss at Freiburg, Stuttgart will look to return to winning ways in the Bundesliga when they take on Mainz on Saturday afternoon. Die Schwaben failed to impress in the season opener and, as things stand now, new Borussia Dortmund man Sehrou Guirassy is going to be sorely missed in the 2024/2025 season. To make things even worse for the home side, all Anthony Rouault, Leonidas Stergiou, Josha Vagnoman, Luca Raimund, Nikolas Nartey, and Dan-Axel Zagadou are sidelined with injuries.
Die Nullfunfer, meanwhile, shared the spoils with Union Berlin at the weekend and, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from Saturday’s clash as well. As Stuttgart were not at their sharpest against Freiburg, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Defender Maxim Leitsch should be the only absentee in the visiting team this time out.
