THE PREDICTION
Both of these sides can enjoy this game having achieved their objectives in recent weeks. Wolfsburg’s 2-2 draw at RB Leipzig last Sunday was enough to seal their place in the Champions League, although it is still to be decided whether they finish third or fourth. Mainz, meanwhile, are safe despite their 3-1 defeat at home to Borussia Dortmund, which ended an impressive nine-match unbeaten run. The Wolves have a good recent record in this fixture, winning the last four meetings and keeping clean sheets in the last five. In fact, Mainz have not won at the Volkswagen Arena since September 2012. Wolfsburg have only lost to Bayern and Dortmund at home in the league this season so they should manage a win here.
