Mainz seems to be struggling to cope with European football and domestic activity but will hope to rise again after the international break. Sitting 16th, they host fifth-placed Bayer Leverkusen next. Read on for our match prediction. Mainz have managed just one win from their six matches so far. In their last two, they suffered straight losses and failed to score in both, more recently falling 4-0 against Hamburg. It seems they will struggle to replicate their sixth placed finish last season, having already lost four of their opening six matches. Their last three home Bundesliga games ended in defeat, and they are winless in eight at their own turf in the league.
On their last three visits to Mainz, Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten, though the most recent ended in a 2-2 draw. The former champions will be expected to better that performance here. They head into this one having injected some stability into their season. Ahead of the international break, they had a seven-game unbeaten run after their shock loss to Hoffenheim. The visitors claimed only their second clean sheet of the season in the 2-0 win at home to Union Berlin last time out. Though much changed after massive exits last summer, Leverkusen have managed to score in each of their nine games this season.
