Stuttgart form and stats

Stuttgart's struggle is real here at Mercedes-Benz-Arena with only 5 points collected from 8 Bundesliga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 0-5-3. With nine home Bundesliga games in a row without a win, the Stuttgart fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Sandhausen game long ago, can be stopped today.

Stuttgart are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Freiburg. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Arminia Bielefeld.

The penalty miss from Nicolás González in the defeat against Freiburg was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

Stuttgart are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Stuttgart defense is not exactly impregnable. 15 goals conceded from 8 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Mainz 05 form and stats

There's been little loot from Mainz 05's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 8 away games in the Bundesliga. Mainz 05 only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws.

Mainz are travelling after their nice 3-2 home win in the Bundesliga against RB Leipzig (placed 2nd). The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Wolfsburg.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Mainz have scored 9 goals in 8 league games away. The Mainz 05 manager B. Svensson has some worries about the defense as 19 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Mainz 05 - Stuttgart 1-4. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - two - five (Stuttgart wins - draws - Mainz 05 wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.
