Stuttgart<\/a> travel to face Mainz<\/a> in a clash that pits one of the Bundesliga<\/a>\u2019s most enterprising attacks against a side fighting to escape the lower reaches of the table. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Stuttgart looking to consolidate their position in the top four and Mainz searching for momentum, expect a contest shaped by recent form and a lopsided head-to-head record. Kick-off is at 14:30 on Saturday 7 March at the MEWA Arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Best Bets & Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on Stuttgart\u2019s clear attacking superiority and Mainz\u2019s struggles in front of goal, here are our top betting recommendations for this match. We\u2019re particularly confident in backing Stuttgart to win, given their consistent output and strong recent form, while a low-scoring game also looks a realistic prospect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stuttgart to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n6\/5 @ Betfair<\/a>
(45.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nStuttgart have won 8 of the last 15 meetings with Mainz and are 10 places higher in the table. Their attack has produced 48 goals this season\u201421 more than Mainz\u2014and they boast much better shot and pass accuracy. Mainz, by contrast, have scored just 27 times and missed nearly as many big chances as they’ve created.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Under 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n13\/10 @ Bet365<\/a>
(43.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nMainz\u2019s matches average just over 2.7 goals, but their XG is a lowly 12.21 and they struggle to convert chances. While Stuttgart are prolific, their last meeting ended 2-1 and Mainz will likely try to keep it tight at home to grind out a result. Under 2.5 has value given Mainz\u2019s attacking inefficiency and the importance of the points at stake.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
