On Sunday, Wolfsburg will play host to Mainz at the Volkswagen Arena for a Bundesliga matchup. The match will feature two teams that are currently performing well. These days, Wolfsburg are performing at a high level of efficiency. The incredible run of form that they have been experiencing continued on Wednesday night when they defeated Hoffenheim 3-0 at home in the last-16 round of the DFB Pokal. They scored three goals in the second half of the match. Before that, they had defeated RB Leipzig by a score of 5-1 away from home in the Bundesliga over the previous weekend. This next weekend, Wolfsburg will be looking to win their sixth consecutive competition across all of their competitions.

This game is one of the most intriguing matches of Matchday 13. Mainz defeated Hoffenheim by a score of 2-0 seven days ago. The away team was able to complete the task in the first half of the competition thanks to a brace scored by Jonathan Burkardt. As of right now, the German attacker has scored nine goals in the Bundesliga season that is now underway.

VFL Wolfsburg

Since the beginning of this year, Wolfsburg has demonstrated that they are a formidable opponent, as they have not suffered a loss in any of their seven most recent matches in meaningful competition. An extra-time triumph over Borussia Dortmund in the DFB-Pokal was the first step in Die Wolfe's run, which began with league draws against St. Pauli and Augsburg. Wolfsburg then went on to win the Superliga. Wolfsburg went on to win three league matches in a row, including a resounding victory over RB Leipzig over the weekend. 

The Wolfsburg team will now return their attention to league competition after advancing to the quarterfinals of the competition. Since they have won five, drawn three, and lost four of their twelve matches in the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg is in ninth place when matchday 13 arrives upon them. As a result of their victory over Union Berlin in their most recent Bundesliga match at Volkswagen Arena, the hosts are seeking to make it their first time this season to win consecutive league matches at home.

Having won five of their twelve matches, drawn four of them, and lost three of them, Mainz is currently in eighth place, one point higher than Wolfsburg for the eighth spot. Similar to their rivals, Mainz are currently enjoying a remarkable run of success, as they have triumphed in each of their most recent three Bundesliga matches simultaneously. Mainz began their winning streak with a 3-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund. Subsequently, they cruised to a 3-0 victory on the road against Holstein Kiel.

In the successful match that Mainz played at home against Hoffenheim on the previous Sunday, they came away with another clean sheet. At the Mewa Arena, Mainz was able to secure a 2-0 victory thanks to the two goals scored by Jonathan Burkhardt in the first half. This victory allowed Mainz to extend their unbeaten streak to three matches in the league. Following a string of victories on their own turf, Mainz will now embark on their journey for the match that will take place on Sunday. The visitors will be hoping to maintain their nine-game unbeaten streak in the league when playing away from home.

Expert Betting Tips

Not a single goal was allowed to be scored against Mainz in any of the previous four league matches. It will be very intriguing to see how their obstinate defensive line will deal with the ferocious attack that Wolfsburg is putting forth when they play. Throughout the preceding four matches across all competitions, the Wolves scored three goals or more in three of those matches.

Their defence has also been strong as of late, as seen by the fact that they have only conceded two goals in their previous four matches across all competitions.

The value may be found in the over 2.5 goals and BTTS.
