Mainz

The defence is usually shaky but on their days can produce some amazing defensive play. For Mainz to win this fixture, they will need their defence to be in good shape. A win can push Mainz into one of the European spots.

Wolfsburg

Wolfsburg have recovered from a miserable start to the Bundesliga. Unlike the start of the season, Wolfsburg have not lost a match in the last five matches played. Winning against Bochum must have done a world of good for Wolfsburg. They will be hoping to cause an upset at the MEWA Arena. To do so, they will need to improve their goal-scoring threat. A comfortable position before the break will be much needed.
