In their turn, only few years ago Wolfsburg have played in the UEFA Champions League and competed with Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga gold medals, however, the side stepped into a crisis after those achievements. In this season the team’s supporters are disappointed greatly as “Die Wolfe” look absolutely helpless. At this point the club occupies the 14th place in elite division table with only 24 points earned after 23 matches behind, having failed seven times so far. Wolfsburg cannot boast with a convincing attacking football, having scored just 26 goals, still, their defense doesn’t feel much better with 30 goals conceded. In the latest clashes conducted on the road the side has been beaten by Werder Bremen 1:3, lost 0:1 to Schalke 04, but upset Hannover 1:0.
Mainz have not tasted a failure across six home battles against Wolfsburg. At the moment both rivals stay in a poor shape, showing the same level of play, therefore, they must score several goals in the upcoming head-to-head.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
