1 Fsv Mainz 05 vs Leipzig Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Prediction published on 17/10/2024, 07:30  by Kennedy Kechula in Bundesliga Predictions

One of the two remaining unbeaten teams in the German Bundesliga, RB Leipzig will travel to Mainz for their next assignment. Placed second, Die Roten Bullen face a tricky opponent in Die Nullfünfer. Let’s have a look at the preview and prediction for the match.

Mainz haven't lost any of their last four matches against Leipzig. In this form, they’ll rightly feel they can frustrate the title contenders. They have kept three straight clean sheets in matches against Leipzig.

The last time they hosted this fixture, Leandro Barreiro and Lee Jae-Sung scored in a 2-0 win. This will be the hope they carry into the match as they look to build on a 3-0 win away to St. Pauli two weeks ago.

Mainz have struggled at home this season and will be eyeing their first win there in this game.

Leipzig will be aiming to reap on Mainz’s poor form at home to improve their recent record in this fixture. In the last three years, they've beaten Mainz just once – a 4-1 home win in 2022.

On their visits to Mainz, Leipzig are winless in four straight matches, losing three of them. 

However, backed by a good start to the Bundesliga, they will feel capable of upstaging their hosts. In their last outing before the international break, Leipzig labored through a 1-0 away win at Heidenheim.

That was only their second win inside the last six matches. Tied on points with leaders Bayern Munich, Leipzig will feel this is a good chance to go top.
