Prediction published on 11/02/2024, 00:39  by Sridhar in Bundesliga Predictions

Stuttgart will hope to keep their push for a third-place finish as they look for full points against relegation battlers Mainz. This Bundesliga matchday 21 will be played at the MHPArena on Sunday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are 3rd with 40 points while the visitors are 17th with 12 points. Stuttgart are three points ahead of fourth-placed Borussia Dortmund and wouldn’t want to lose that grip over third-place with a loss here. The hosts come into this round with a loss in the DFB Pokal, but have won their last two league games. That said, they have won just three of their last seven league games and three defeats in that sequence has negated their advantage in the top-three race. Playing at home plays to their advantage though, as they have won eight of their last ten home league games.

Mainz are six points behind safety places and three from the relegation play-off place ahead of this round. They would be keen to get up the table sooner than later, as the threat of relegation looms large. The visitors haven’t won across their last ten league games, but six draws in that sequence suggest they could make things tricky. That was also the case away from home as Mainz have kept themselves afloat in the league on the road. They have drawn six and lost just one of their last seven away league games although that lone defeat came in their most recent trip.
