Stuttgart hosts Mainz in round 19 of the German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, January 29th at Mercedes-Benz Arena (Stuttgart)
The Swabians have finished the 1st round in the middle of the standings. Not a bad result for the club that returned to the Bundesliga only in the fall. Stuttgart also looked good in January. The Swabians minimally lost to RB Leipzig due to a goal in the 67th minute, then defeated Augsburg on the road, and took points from the Champions League playoff participant, Borussia Monchengladbach. But this was the last success of Pellegrino Matarazzo, as Stuttgart lost both last Bundesliga matches. At first, it was unexpectedly hammered by another newcomer, Arminia Bielefeld, which sent three unanswered goals to the opponents’ net. And on January 23, despite the early goal of Silas Wamangituka (already the 10th this season), the Swabians lost in Freiburg.

Mainz has long ceased to shine. And the team was close to leaving the First Bundesliga already several times. In the previous seasons, it managed to improve its game on time and gain enough points to survive. But in the current draw, the club looked too weak even after the change of mentor. Hope appeared only this month - under Bo Svensson, the team has already surprised the fans several times. Remarkably, Mainz did it in matches with the grandees. At first, it was leading 2-0 before the break of the match with Bayern (although it conceded five goals in the 2nd half). Then the Carnival club tied with Borussia in Dortmund (1:1). And after that, no one believed that the outsider would gain at least one point in a meeting with RB Leipzig. The Bulls took the lead twice, but Niakhate responded with his double, and Barreiro scored the third goal at the beginning of the 2nd half. Nagelsmann's stars had 40 minutes to fix everything, but they couldn't even equalize.
Mainz had a streak of four wins in a row in head-to-head matches. But having returned to the Bundesliga, Stuttgart confidently beat the Carnival club in the fall (4-1 away). Perhaps, the Swabians will not be able to arrange the same romp as in September. But they have to beat Mainz again.
Prediction for the match: Stuttgart to win
