18:30 Stuttgart – Mainz

This is, more or less, the most important match for VfB Stuttgart this season.

The hosts are currently on the last spot in the German 1st Bundesliga, four points behind the fifteenth team in the standings (Hamburger SV) and with only three rounds until the end of the campaign, everything except a win in this match against 1. FSV Mainz 05 will be fatal for VfB Stuttgart.

In the matter of fact, the hosts showed good football in their last three games on this stadium, having won seven points against Eintracht Frankfurt (3-1), SV Werder Bremen (3-2) and SC Freiburg (2-2).

The visitors, on the other hand, are in the middle of the standings in this league (11th position), with tiny chances for a place at Top 6, which is actually unlikely to happen considering the potential of this team.

Motivation of the home team should be on its highest level for this match and I think that VfB Stuttgart will manage to win three points today.
