Wolfsburg had a torrid outing against Borussia Dortmund and a return at home to host Mainz in their Round 31 Bundesliga game should offer a lot of comfort. The hosts are on 34 points, in 13th place in the league standings while Mainz are ninth on 39 points. Wolfsburg are coming from a 6-1 thrashing at Dortmund, a result that left them just six points from the relegation playoff spot. With four games to go, they will view this as a must win game. They have four losses in the last five matches and their only win in that run was against 17th placed Arminia Bielefeld. That 4-0 victory also marked their only clean sheet in five matches. In this game they will bank a lot on their home form; Wolfsburg have three wins in five home matches and they’ve scored in four of the last five at home, while keeping two clean sheets. In their last two meetings with Mainz, Wolfsburg suffered losses and will be keen to avoid a repeat here.

Mainz might have beaten Wolfsburg in their last two meetings, but they head into this game on a poor run and unlikely to complete a double on their hosts. They are winless in their last four matches, two of them losses, and they have just two clean sheets in their last five games. Just like Wolfsburg, their only win in the last five matches was a 4-0 thumping of 17th placed Arminia Bielefeld. They are coming from a 0-0 home draw with Stuttgart, only their second clean sheet in the last five matches; both teams have scored in three of Mainz’s last five matches. Mainz are poor away from home; going into this game they have no win in the last 10, just eight losses and two draws. They have no clean sheets in those 10 away matches, and they’ve conceded two or more goals in seven of them. To bag three points here, they will need to do more.
