Defensively, they concede an average of 1.0 goals per game, which could be a concern against Mainz's attacking threats.
Final Prediction
Mainz is predicted to have the edge in this encounter, primarily due to their superior league position and higher scoring potential. A key factor to watch will be Mainz's ability to convert scoring opportunities, capitalizing on Wolfsburg's defensive vulnerabilities. Fans should anticipate an engaging match with plenty of goal-scoring action.
