Best Tip: Both teams to score

Analysing all relevant stats, including historical head-to-head (H2H) data, we predict this tie will deliver both joy and despair to each set of fans. We expect both Mainz and Stuttgart to find the back of the net during the 90 minutes, but the ultimate winner of the fixture seems less clear. Bookmaker's odds also point towards a both teams to score bet, and that's our recommendation.
