On Friday at Mercedez-Benz Arena, The Stuttgart is set to play host to Mainz in their next Bundesliga fixture. A 2-1 loss to Christian Streich’s Freiburg last Saturday at Schwarzwald-Stadion, The Stuttgart come into this game. The first half of the goals from young attacker Ermedin Demirovic and South Korean forward Jeong Woo-Yeong ensured the winning for Freiburg. Forward Silas Wamangituka scored the consolation goal for Stuttgart.

Last Saturday at the Opel Arena, Mainz, on the other hand, beat Julian Nagelsmann’s RB Leipzig 3-2. A first-half brace from defender Moussa Niakhate and a goal from Luxembourg international Leandro Barreiro sealed the deal for Bo Svensson’s Mainz. United States of America international Tyler Adams and German left-back Marcel Halstenberg scored the goals for RB Leipzig.

Young attacker Silas Wamangituka and Argentina international Nicolas Gonzalez have done well. Gonzalez has been linked with clubs like Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur. Mainz, on the other hand, is 17th in the Bundesliga table, five points behind 16th placed Koln. They have struggled to get going this season. The loss of star attacker Jean-Philippe Mateta to Crystal Palace does not bode well for their immediate future. Both sides have lost 3 of their last five league games, but Stuttgart should have enough to get past Mainz.
