Wolfsburg vs Mainz prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-12-07 14:30.
[p]Wolfsburg’s emphatic 5-1 Bundesliga win at Leipzig last weekend was their third in a row, making them one of the division’s most in-form teams. They were 2-0 up after five minutes and after having scored an average of three goals per game across their last three Bundesliga fixtures (W3), manager Ralph Hasenhüttl described it as a “top-class performance”. [/p]
[p]The Austrian also spoke about how difficult his side are to play on the road, but if the Wolves are to make further progress up the table, they’ll need to improve their home league form too, which has been underwhelming this term (W1, D2, L3). There are signs that they’re turning the corner at least, given that sole win was in their last home league fixture (W1-0 v Union Berlin) during which the hosts scored for the 16th consecutive home league game (W3, D5, L8).[/p]
[p]Mainz will hope to have something to say about that as they won this fixture 3-1 last term and sit one point ahead of Wolfsburg. Like their hosts, they find themselves on a three-match winning streak in the Bundesliga and also boast the exact same unbeaten record across their last five league games (W3, D2) since losing 2-0 to Leipzig in October. [/p]
[p]What could give them the edge here is being unbeaten on the road in the league this term (W3, D2), a distinction they share with leaders Bayern Munich and reigning champions Bayer Leverkusen having last lost a Bundesliga away game in March (W4, D5). That’s being aided by their attacking output as they’ve scored exactly three times in five of their last six league away outings (W4, D2).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Wolfsburg’s Mohamed Amoura has four goal contributions (G3, A1) across his last four games for club and country and since the start of the 2022/23 season, he’s unbeaten when scoring in domestic football (W28, D4). Jonathan Burkardt has netted four times across Mainz’s last three league games, with each strike arriving before half-time.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: There have been over 8.5 corners in each of Wolfsburg’s last five league fixtures (W3, D2).[/p]
