Stats for this game
Matchup FSV Mainz 05 VS VfB Stuttgart
Stuttgart’s edge remains slight
Stuttgart have held the stronger balance without making the fixture one-sided. They won 3–1 at home on 11 February 2024 and 2–1 there on 26 October 2025, while Mainz answered with a 2–0 home win on 25 January 2025. The results show how quickly the advantage can change when the match moves between venues.
Draws keep the contest open
A 3–3 draw in Stuttgart on 31 August 2024 and the 2–2 result in Mainz on 7 March 2026 underline the pairing’s resistance to a settled script. Mainz can make home initiative count, while Stuttgart have shown they can respond away and protect their broader edge. A future meeting can test which side handles the transitions between control and pressure more effectively. Neither team needs a dominant spell to make the balance feel uncertain. Their contrasting strengths keep the contest open from the opening whistle to the final phase.
