There’s very little to separate Mainz and Leverkusen as they prepare for matchday five encounter in the Bundesliga on Saturday, although both teams bring contrasting forms to the Mewa Arena. This match between the 6th-placed ‘05ers’ and the fifth-placed ‘Black and Reds’ could be a test of the home team’s credentials, and our match prediction is an away win.
Ahead of this round of games, both teams have an identical record of W2, D1, L1 with seven points. Leverkusen are marginally above Mainz, thanks to a better goal difference.
Mainz went into the international break on the back of a 4-3 win away at Monchengladbach, but it was just their second win in four games (D1, L1). While that’s not too bad, Mainz will hope for consistency and post consecutive league wins for the first time since April.
There’s no guarantee of that though, as Mainz have failed to win their last five home league games (D1, L4).
Leverkusen defeated Leipzig 2-0 at home before the international break, for a third win in their last four competitive matches (D1). Each of those victories came with a clean sheet, and with only five goals conceded, they are among the best defensive sides.
That said, the visitors need to improve on their away form, having won just once in their last three competitive trips (W1, D1, L1).
