On Tuesday night, Mainz host Wolfsburg at the Opel Arena, in a game that could be vital in the fight for survival and the race for the European spots in the German Bundesliga.
Mainz are still five points adrift of the relegation play-off spot, despite a creditable 1-1 draw at Dortmund last time out. The draw means that the home side has now failed to win any of their last eight matches in the Bundesliga while suffering five defeats in the process.
The team from the Rhineland have struggled for goals of late, with only three teams scoring fewer than Mainz’s tally of 15 goals in the Bundesliga this season. Their recent league games have reflected that struggle for goals, as five of their last six Bundesliga matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
The Opel Arena has offered Mainz very little home comfort in recent months, as the home team has won just one of their last 13 league matches on home soil, including losing their last three home games without scoring.
Wolfsburg are still well placed for a top-four challenge, despite a poor recent run of form in the German top-flight. The visitors are sixth place in the table, just three points behind Dortmund who currently occupy the last Champions League spot.
A 2-2 draw against RB Leipzig last time out means that the visitors have won one of their last five outings in the Bundesliga. The Wolves have experienced some defensive issues of late, as Olivier Glasner’s team has conceded at least two goals in four of their last five league outings.
Wolfsburg’s away form has dipped alarmingly of late too, as they have failed to win in four league matches on their travels.
Once again poor defensive displays have been at the heart of the recent away results, as they have conceded at least two goals in four straight away matches in the Bundesliga.
Forebet predicts that Wolfsburg will bounce back to winning ways in this game, recording a victory in a rare low-scoring encounter.
