Mainz vs Wolfsburg Prediction & Betting Tips (24 January)

Capable of securing a European place last spring, Mainz would undoubtedly sign immediately to obtain the final 15th place in the ranking on the evening of the 34th day. This would in fact be synonymous with maintenance, a maintenance which still seems a long way off for this training. Indeed, the FSV players remain stuck in 17th place in the ranking, with only 12 points taken in 18 days and they are 4 units behind the first non-relegation team. Undefeated at the start of January, Nullfünfer took points against Sankt Pauli 0-0, Union Berlin 2-2 and especially Heidenheim 2-1 but lost last week to Cologne 2-1. On the other side of the median, Wolfsburg is not at the level hoped for at the start of the season either.

This team is in fact still in the second half of the table, in 12th place in the ranking, far from the battle for European places. Humiliated from the start by Bayern Munich 8-1, the Wolves were still able to restart the machine by winning in an important duel against Sankt Pauli 2-1. Finally, last weekend, they were unable to find the ingredients to defeat Heidenheim 1-1.

The local club will have to do without its starting goalkeeper Zentner and its defenders Leitsch, Caci and Mwene who fill all the ranks of the infirmary. In addition, frame defender Hanche-Olsen, replacement striker Weiper, left piston Veratsching and striker Hollerbach complete a very substantial list of absences. Landed during the winter transfer window, attackers Silas (Stuttgart) and Tietz (Augsburg) could start up front. That said, it is the leader of this team, Amiri, who is the most dangerous player in this squad with 5 goals. The South Korean Lee and the striker Sieb have 2 goals. In Wolfsburg, striker Pejcinovic, who has been on a roll lately with 5 goals scored in his last 3 appearances, should once again remain on the sidelines today, injured.

The very good full-back Maehle, the defenders Seelt (holder) and Rogerio, and Hungarian midfielder Dardai are also on the floor alongside the striker Danish Wind and middle frame Svanberg. Finally, midfielder Arnold is suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards. As for the forces present, we can cite midfielder Wimmer (3 goals), playmaker Lovro Majer (ex Rennes, 2 goals and 3 assists) and the Dane Eriksen in particular. Little in sight since his arrival this summer, the attacker Skov Olsen has already left the club to join Glasgow Rangers.Probable lineups for Mainz - Wolfsburg:Mainz: Batz - Costa, Bell, Kohr - Widmer, Amiri, Sano, Lee, Veratsching - Sieb, Tietz.
