Wolfsburg vs Mainz match prediction 31 August 2025
The Wolfsburg coach will likely set the home side up to leverage the team's pace and pressing. With Amoura leading the line with support from Majer, Olsen and Wimmer, there will be pace in the frontline while Arnold and Souza will provide support to the defence. Bo Henriksen's Mainz will also rely on a compact midfield pivot with Amiri and Sano providing support to the defence.
The prolific home form of Wolfsburg, coupled with their attacking fluidity, makes them the favourites. However, Mainz’s Europa-fuelled momentum and defensive discipline might hold strong. We predict a 2-1 win for Wolfsburg.
