Prediction: Stuttgart 0-2 Mainz
Mainz is in a better position in the table and with form on their side, we expect them to pick up the points here.
Stuttgart is on a horror one and lack confidence and desire to make things happen. With 4 successive losses, the mood is gloomy in the camp and a turnaround is important.
We do not see this happening tonight given how well Mainz is performing.
Players to watch out for: Förster, Marmoush, Burkardt and Onisiwo.
