Wolfsburg vs FSV Mainz 05 Predictions

• There have been over 2.5 goals in six of the last eight Bundesliga meetings between Wolfsburg and Mainz.
• Two of Mainz’s last three Bundesliga games have gone over 3.5 goals.
• Over 3.5 goals has been a winning bet in nine of Wolfsburg’s 14 Bundesliga home games this season.

Dreams of Europe live on for both

After Mainz’s incredible 3-1 win over Bayern Munich in the previous round, they still hold hopes of gatecrashing the top six at the business end of the Bundesliga season. Similarly, Wolfsburg sit just two points behind Mainz and hold European ambitions of their own with just a four-point gap to make up on the top-six.

To add an extra layer of spice, a top-seven finish may yet be enough to secure European football depending on which side wins the DFB Pokal, so a victory here could prove pivotal for either side. With so much at stake and a draw not really suiting either side, there could be no shortage of goalmouth action here.

Goals have often been on the cards here in Wolfsburg, with nine of their 14 home league games producing at least four in total. The same can be said when these sides meet each other too, with six of the last eight league H2Hs producing three or more goals.

Going for goals

Given what’s at stake in this clash and the impressive scoring endeavours, we’re staying away from the win markets in this particular clash. Instead, we’re going for a confident over 2.5 total goals selection.

For smaller stakes, we’re completing our picks for this potentially pivotal clash with a 2-2 draw in the correct score market, a result which would suit Mainz more than Wolfsburg if truth be told.
