Mainz 05 - Wolfsburg predictions

Mainz 05 are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Wolfsburg may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

The visiting team knows that beating Mainz on their own turf will be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

Mainz 05’s previous performance against Borussia Dortmund brought a $RESULT stalemate which lasted throughout the runtime. All things considered, though, this can be counted as a bit of a success for them. After all, they were in an away game against a greatly favoured team.

Wolfsburg played against overwhelming odds last round, with bookies pricing them winning at 1.38 despite the home-field advantage. Quite predictably, they ended up recording an HT/FT loss, though the single goal difference was not as bad as some predictions aspected it to be.

The previous two matched Mainz 05 played as hosts ended without much excitement. Neither featured more than a single goal.

Looking over the visitors’ record in away games, it seems they don’t do well when they’re out of the comfort of their home field. They’ve recorded a worrying number of conceded goals in their previous 3 away games – more than 5, to be more precise.

We saw Mainz lose to Wolfsburg time and time again last season, and each game ended with a considerable goal difference too. It’s a small wonder how they’re considered the favourites this time around, with a home win priced at odds of 2.20.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Patrick Wimmer, Lukas Nmecha, A. Sarr are the players that will be missing, which makes the Wolfsburg lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.
