1. FSV Mainz 05 vs VfB Stuttgart — head-to-head

All-time storyline

In their lone competitive meeting to date, VfB Stuttgart and 1. FSV Mainz 05 have shared a perfectly level head-to-head record, with one draw apiece. Their only fixture, a 2-2 draw in the Bundesliga on March 7, 2026, saw Stuttgart twice rally from behind—once in the first half and again in stoppage time—to salvage a point in front of their home supporters. Mainz held firm in the opening stanza, taking a lead before Stuttgart equalized, only for the visitors to retake the advantage later on. Despite the late drama, neither side managed to break the deadlock in the remaining minutes. The stalemate underscored the even nature of this rivalry, where neither team has yet claimed a victory. Both sides showed resilience, trading goals and chances throughout, but a definitive result remains elusive. Today, this fixture stands as a reminder of parity, a single snapshot in what may grow into a more defined competitive history as future meetings unfold and bragging rights hang in the balance.
