Analysis:
If you look at the form of both teams, you can see a stark contrast. Mainz going through tough times in the Bundesliga. The latest matches show that the team cannot keep the ball in its goal: over the last 3 matches it conceded 9 goals and scored only 2. This is in stark contrast to the opponent Stuttgart, who scored 11 goals and conceded only 5 during the same period.
Historically, recent meetings between these teams have gone in favor of Stuttgart. In the last 5 meetings Stuttgart won 3 times, and 2 other matches ended in a draw. In the last game Stuttgart won a landslide victory with a score of 4:1.
The only notable success Mainz recently - victory over "Elfsberg"in the German Cup 1/32. However, one should not attach much importance to the victory over "Burnley", as friendlies often do not reflect a team's true competitive form.
So, if you look at the statistics of corners and yellow cards, it becomes obvious that both teams play aggressively. U Mainz more yellow cards, indicating more aggressive tactics or a tendency to make mistakes under pressure.
Given the clear superiority Stuttgart and the historical data of their meetings, they look like favorites.

Why: The last matches of both teams indicate that a lot of goals will be scored in them.
