Stuttgart, which last season sensationally took 2nd place, overtaking even Bayern in the standings, started the new season with an away defeat to Freiburg (3-1). Of course, at the start of the season it is too early to draw conclusions, but many fear that the team may repeat the fate of Union Berlin, which also, considered an outsider, got into the UEFA Champions League, but then almost fell out of the Bundesliga.
Mainz started the season with a home draw with Union Berlin (1-1), the team has never been a tough opponent for anyone in the Bundesliga. So nominally the guests are considered outsiders, but still bet on goals, as in face-to-face meetings with Stuttgart Mainz always scored.
Prediction: both teams to score. We recommend the “BTTS - Yes” bet, odds 1.66
