On Wednesday night, Mainz and Wolfsburg go head-to-head in the Bundesliga, as both teams eye a place in the top four of the table.
Mainz have enjoyed a rather inconsistent start to their Bundesliga campaign. The home side started the campaign with a three-game unbeaten run in the league, only to suffer a 1-0 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen in their last league outing.
Their Bundesliga games this season have been relatively low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their four matches in the German top-flight.
Mainz have a strong recent home record in the Bundesliga, having won four of their last five games in the German top-flight on home soil. Their recent home games have been high scoring with three of their four matches producing over 2.5 goals.
Wolfsburg are currently fifth in the Bundesliga table after a mixed start to their domestic campaign. The Wolves won their first two league games of the campaign before drawing 2-2 with Hertha Berlin and losing 3-1 against Freiburg, which were both on home soil.
The visitor’s recent Bundesliga games have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last eight outings in the German top-flight dating back to last season. Both teams have also scored in their last seven league games.
The Wolves have an inconsistent away record in the German top-flight of late. However, they have recorded just three away wins in their last 17 games on their travels in the Bundesliga. Their recent away games in the Bundesliga have been high scoring, with their last three away games producing over 2.5 goals.
Forebet predicts that these two teams will play out a tight low scoring draw, which would do neither teams hopes of pushing into the top-four any favours.
