Stuttgart vs Mainz prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-10-25 16:30.
[p]After playing in Europe on Thursday night with contrasting fortunes, Stuttgart welcome Mainz on matchday eight in the Bundesliga.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Stuttgart suffered defeat in the UEFA Europa League as they lost 1-0 away at Fenerbahçe, but are flying domestically. Sebastian Hoeneß’s side are on a four-game winning run in the Bundesliga and have already picked up 15 points (W5, L2), with this their second-best start to a league campaign after seven matches since winning the title in 2006/07. The Swabians’ 100% home record has played a big part thus far, and with three wins from three at the MHPArena, they are the only team across Europe’s top-five leagues yet to concede a goal at home this season![/p]
[p]Mainz were 1-0 winners in the Conference League on Thursday night as they beat Zrinjski, but have only amassed four points from their first seven Bundesliga games (W1, D1, L5). The 05ers have lost three league games in a row for the first time under Bo Henriksen, in what is their worst run since losing four successive top-flight games under the Dane in September 2023. There is some hope of arresting that slump in form though, with all four of their early season points coming up on the road, so it would be wrong to write them off here.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Stuttgart have lost just one of the last ten H2Hs (W6, D3), and are unbeaten in five home games against Mainz (W3, D2). They have only enjoyed a longer undefeated run at home against Augsburg among the current Bundesliga sides.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Only two clubs in the division took more corners than Stuttgart’s 43 across the opening seven rounds.[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]

[p]Silas has yet to make an appearance for Stuttgart this season due to an ankle injury, while Ermedin Demirović has missed the last three games with a foot problem. Mainz do not appear to have any fresh concerns ahead of this clash.[/p]
