by Daniel Ngulu | in Bundesliga Predictions
Mainz have failed to win the opening three Bundesliga games in the last two seasons. They hope to stop that from happening a third straight season when they host Leipzig on Saturday. Read on for our prediction of the match.
Mainz headed into the international break off the back of a 1-1 draw at Wolfsburg. Rising star Nadiem Amiri scored right on 90 minutes to level the scores.
That marked a positive end to the month of August, in which they also confirmed their place in the Conference League main draw. Now Mainz will look to address a poor run that has left them with one win in 11 league games.
Leipzig had a win in the league before heading into the international break, beating Heidenheim 2-0. One ingredient that has lacked in their 2025 is consecutive wins.
Should they get three points here, it will be only the second time they record back-to-back wins in 2025. The only other time this happened was in April, when they beat Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg.
It wasn’t a great start to the Bundesliga season for Leipzig, as they were hammered 6-0 by Bayern Munich. Coming back from the international break, new manager Ole Werner will hope to guide his team to a second victory in 12 away league games.
