Bundesliga Matchday 31 Betting Predictions – VfL Wolfsburg
Wolfsburg has been in rather mediocre form having collected just 7 points from its last 8 league-matches over the past couple of months.
Although he has a few injury-issues to consider, Florian Kohfeldt will probably choose the 3-4-2-1 system that he has maintained in the recent matches. Koen Casteels will be in goal with Sebastiaan Bornauw, John Brooks and Maxence Lacroix comprising the 3-man defence. Despite having one of the leakiest defences in the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg has conceded an average of less than 1.5 goals per game on home-turf.
Xaver Schagler could miss this clash due to an ankle-problem while Renato Steffen is also sidelined so Aster Vranckx may be chosen as the central-midfield partner for Maximilian Arnold. Ridle Baku will start in his usual position on the right-wing while Yannick Gerhardt has been preferred on the left-flank in recent games. Max Kruse and Jonas Wind are the supporting-strikers behind the centre-forward Lukas Nmecha.

Bundesliga Matchday 31 Betting Predictions – FSV Mainz 05
Mainz has not quite been able to find its form since the Covid-outbreak a couple of months ago and has collected only 5 points from its last 7 fixtures.
Bo Svensson is missing a few important players and so he might choose to retain the 5-3-2 formation from the previous match. Alexander Hack is on the sidelines along with long-term absentee Jerry St.Juste therefore Niklas Tauer might continue to fill in as the third centre-back along with Stefan Bell and Moussa Niakhaté. Silvan Widmer will be the right-back with Aarón Martín on the left-side of the defence.
Dominik Kohr will be the anchorman in front of the backline with Jean-Paul Boëtius and Anton Stach as the other two central-midfielders on either side of him. Karim Onisiwo and Jonathan Burkhardt will bedeployed as a strike-pair in the forward areas. Mainz is not exactly renowned for scoring plenty of goals although it averages close to 2 goals per game on home-turf this season.
