Stuttgart vs Mainz Prediction and Betting Tips | October 26th 2025

Stuttgart will face Mainz at the MHP Arena on Sunday in another round of the 2025-26 Bundesliga campaign. Despite their struggles on the continental stage, the home side have been brilliant in the league of late and now sit third in the table with 15 points from seven matches.

The Reds picked up a comprehensive 3-0 victory away at Wolfsburg upon returning from the international break last weekend, with goals from three different players including summer signing Tiago Tomas who netted his first goal since the opening day. They then headed to Turkey during the week where they faced Fenerbahce in the UEFA Europa League's league phase and lost 1-0.

Mainz, on the other hand, have been poor in the Bundesliga this season but bright on the continental stage. They suffered a 4-3 home defeat to Bayer Leverkusen last time out in the league but returned to winning ways on Thursday, beating Bosnian side Zrinjski 1-0 in the Conference League thanks to a first-half strike from Nelson Weiper.

The visitors sit 16th in the Bundesliga standings with four points and are just one point above a winless Borussia Monchengladbach side at the bottom of the pile.

Stuttgart vs Mainz Prediction

The Reds have won their last four league games by an aggregate scoreline of 8-1 and will head into the weekend clash on a high. They have won their last four games at the MHP Arena and are well poised to add a fifth on Sunday.

The 05ers, meanwhile, have lost their last three Bundesliga outings, conceding 10 goals in that period. They are underdogs heading into the weekend clash and will need something special to secure a result on the road this Sunday.

Prediction: Stuttgart 2-1 Mainz
