Mainz 05 - RB Leipzig betting tips and odds

Mainz 05 have their work cut out for them if they want to beat RB Leipzig. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

The visitors are not walking into an easy match by any means, but they should be able to come out on top. Winning this match will be a welcome boost to their rankings, though such an outcome is priced at 2.35.

Mainz lost their last Bundesliga outing Freiburg. It might have been a minimum defeat but the hosts never actually got a chance to get anything positive from this trip having fallen behind in the first 45 minutes.

Team from Leipzig have shown to know how to seize an opportunity and keep it going. Just last round they secured a solid 4:0 in a home game against Bochum. Being hard favourites with odds of 1.27 on a home win, they easily took the lead in the first half and kept the upper hand until the end.

With 7 concessions over the last 3 matches, Mainz will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

The Red Bulls fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 8 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

Leipzig’s current position as 11th in the standings is moderately good so far, but they’ll need to get better results if they want to call the season successful. They’ll have plenty of time t do so, though overcoming MainzS this Saturday will not be easy.

The Red Bulls are the favourites between these two teams, partly due to the way things ended the last time we saw them clash. In the previous season of the Bundesliga, Team from Leipzig got hold of a decisive victory that still marks them as the better team.

The visitors may be expected to win, but they’ll have to do so without Lukas Klostermann, Konrad Laimer, Yussuf Poulsen. This tips the scales slightly in the hosts’ favour, but not by much.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
