Matchday 17 in the Bundesliga will see a very interesting battle between two top-five teams as Bayer Leverkusen welcome Mainz on Tuesday. This match at the BayArena between the 2nd-placed Die Werkself and the 5th-placed Die Nullfünfer comes with our prediction of being a high-scoring game.
Defending champions Leverkusen has 35 points and remains four behind leaders Bayern, while Mainz has 28 points and is two behind third-placed Eintracht Frankfurt. Leverkusen secured a thrilling 3-2 away win over Borussia Dortmund last Friday, continuing from where they finished before the winter break.
It was their ninth win in a row in all competitions and a sixth in succession in the league. That run could continue here as the home team won its last three league games at this venue. Mainz defeated Bochum 2-0 at home last weekend to further boost their Champions League qualification hopes.
They remain two points outside those top-four spots, but a run of six wins out of the last seven has given hope. Away form could be a challenge though, as they have just four wins from the last seven league trips. Goals could still flow as Mainz have netted exactly three goals in six of their last seven away league games.
