FSV Mainz 05 vs Wolfsburg Predictions and Match Preview, 23 Feb 2018
The Match Is Over. Score:
1-1
Mainz 05 v Wolfsburg Predictions for Friday's Bundesliga fixture at the Opel Arena. Who would think Mainz and Wolfsburg, Bundesliga regulars for many years, will be battling relegation about midway through this campaign? The hosts are 14th with 24 points with only one point off 16th-placed Wolves.
Wolfsburg are the league’s ‘draw specialists’ and their BL-high of 12 has thus far hindered their pre-season plans for European football qualification, and instead landed them in a relegation fight. Another draw here, or can they go one further and get all three points?
Wolfsburg coach Martin Schmidt quit after their 2-1 home loss to Bayern Munich last weekend. Sports director Olaf Rebbe was shocked and is now under pressure, as he stated: "We have no plan B for the coaching position."
Players to watch: Mainz’s Robin Quaison scored both goals in last week’s win at Hertha. They were his first league goals in 2018 (four in total) but he has only scored in away games this season so far.
Wolfsburg forward Daniel Didavi is the top scorer for his team with six goals and six assists. But five of his goals were scored last year.
Wolfsburg (4-2-3-1): Casteels; Itter, Knoche, Bruma, Verhaegh; Bazoer, Guilavogui; Malli, Didavi, Steffen; Origi.
Wolfsburg: Ignacio Camacho, Jakub Blaszczykowski, John Brooks, Felix Uduokhai, Marcel Tisserand, Yannick Gerhardt, Sebastian Jung, Maximilian Arnold.
