VfB Stuttgart against Mainz: A key game in the Bundesliga race!

On January 25, 2025, the 1st FSV Mainz 05 will compete against VfB Stuttgart in the 19th matchday of the Bundesliga. This game will kick off at 2:30 p.m. and is of particular importance, since both teams have shown different achievements in the past few weeks. While Mainz started a 2-0 home win against VfL Bochum after a strong start in 2025, two defeats against Bayer Leverkusen and Union Berlin followed. Peppered with a weak balance against Stuttgart, the team could feel the print in front of a home crowd.

The current betting odds indicate that there is no clear favorite for the match. The artificial intelligence predicts a very close encounter with XG values ​​of 1.49 for Mainz and 1.58 for Stuttgart. Mainz has already achieved four home wins in a row this season and could hire the club record with another triumph. However, the memory of the last victory against Stuttgart in the Bundesliga, which dated in 2019, is still present.

Stuttgart upward trend

VfB Stuttgart, on the other hand, presented itself strongly in the new year and won three victories in three games. In the last eight games, Stuttgart scored 19 out of 24 possible points, which could further strengthen their momentum. The first leg of the two teams ended with a spectacular 3: 3 draw, which underlines the unpredictability of this duel.

Stuttgart is currently fourth in the Bundesliga, while Mainz is in sixth place. Both teams show that they want to play at the top this season. This could make the upcoming duel not only decisive for the points, but also for the morality of both teams.

look at upcoming games

For VfB Stuttgart, another important game will be coming up in the coming week. On Wednesday, the team competes against Paris St. Germain at home to secure the move into the playoffs of the UEFA Champions League. A tie would be enough to extend the international adventure to extend at least two more games. However, this additional attention to the Champions League participation could have an impact on the concentration and energy of the players in the game against Mainz.

The combination of the current form, the betting odds and the course of the season so far promises an exciting meeting that will put both the audience and the players to the test. Mainz could mobilize all strength to end the unfortunate series against Stuttgart, while Stuttgart aims to confirm its form.
