Stuttgart have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 5 matches against Mainz (Getty Images)

Stuttgart Form

Stuttgart have been slipping down the table after a strong start to the season. They won 4-1 at Augsburg with Nicolás González, Silas Wamangituka, Gonzalo Castro and Daniel Didavi on target.

Pellegrino Matarazzo’s side held Borussia Monchengladbach to a 2-2 draw at home with Wamangituka equalising in the 95th minute.

Stuttgart failed to take their chances in a 3-0 defeat at Arminia Bielefeld and then lost 2-1 in Freiburg.

Wamangituka opened the scoring in Freiburg, González seeing a weak penalty saved and hitting the woodwork late on alongside ErikThommy. Matarazzo will be upset at the defeat after his side had 25-10 shots and 3.03-1.53 expected goals.

Stuttgart Team News

Left backs Borna Sosa and Clinton Mola are injured with Silas Wamangituka to continue in a left wing back role.

Attacking midfielder Philipp Förster is doubtful.

Argentine attacker Nicolas Gonzalez has stepped up this season. After a poor start to life in the Bundesliga, he scored 14 goals in the 2 Bundesliga last season, has scored 6 in 778 minutes this season and has taken 21 shots in his last 4 Bundesliga matches.

Mainz Form

Mainz are in the relegation zone and trying to find some stability. Manager Achim Beierlorzer was sacked in September, Jan-Moritz Lichte lasted 12 games in charge with Bo Svensson given the job in early January.

Svensson’s first match in charge was a 2-0 home defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt. Mainz pulled off a shock 1-1 draw at Borussia Dortmund after Levin Öztunali opened the scoring, they had just 27% possession.

Mainz lost 2-0 at home against Wolfsburg before a 3-2 home win against Leipzig. They fell behind twice against Leipzig, Moussa Niakhaté equalising twice before Leandro Barreiro Martins put them ahead.

Mainz Team News

Mainz midfielder Pierre Kunde Malong is out after undergoing knee surgery.

Top scorer Jean-Philippe Mateta recently joined Crystal Palace and he will be a big loss.

New loan signings Dominik Kohr and Danny da Costa both played well against Leipzig and should continue in the starting side here.

Head to Head

Mainz have a 12-11 advantage against Stuttgart with 6 draws in 29 matches.

Stuttgart won 4-1 win in Mainz this season after Robin Quaison gave the hosts an early lead. Goals to Silas Wamangituka, Daniel Didavi, Mateo Klimowicz and Sasa Kalajdzic overturned the deficit.
