Wolfsburg will wrap up the season with a home game against Mainz. This clash will have very little impact on the final placing of the two sides. Wolfsburg have secured their Champions League slot and Mainz are sure to finish in the bottom half. The hosts have 61 points and are fourth while Mainz are 13th with 36 points. Ahead of this game Wolfsburg played to a 2-2 draw with RB Leipzig, and that point was crucial to securing a top four place as their nearest challenger, Eintracht Frankfurt lost to relegated side Schalke. Wolfsburg have enjoyed a fine run in their recent matches and their three losses in the last nine matches have all come against formidable foes. They’ve lost to Eintracht Frankfurt, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund but a standout factor is that in their last six matches, Wolfsburg have kept just one clean sheet. In the remaining five matches, they’ve conceded two or more goals in four but they’ve scored two or more goals in five. Wout Weghorst has scored 20 league goals this season but has failed to score in the last three. After earlier snubs from the Dutch national team, he is in the provisional 36-man squad for the Euro Championships and will want to make this final game count.

Mainz defender Jerry St. Juste has also been called up to the Dutch squad, and will be hoping to stop Wout Weghorst as he also looks to impress ahead of the Euros. His team however goes to this game winless in the last three matches and without a clean sheet in four. After two straight draws, Mainz were hammered 3-1 by top four-chasing Borussia Dortmund. They were completely outclassed and only needed a last-minute penalty goal for consolation, after trailing 3-0. Though they are placed low, Mainz have had a fairly good run ahead of this game, with only one loss in their last 10 league matches, and failed to score in just one. They have five wins in the 10 league matches while they are unbeaten in their last seven away, with two clean sheets in the process. The head to head record favors Wolfsburg, who have four straight wins and are without a loss in 10 meetings with Mainz.
