RB Leipzig - Mainz 05 predictions

With the odds set at 1.43 for a home win, RB Leipzig winning is clearly the most likely outcome in this matchup. Bigger upsets have happened, of course, but we wouldn’t expect anything but a decisive home win.

Mainz 05 stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 8.00 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

RB Leipzig underperformed somewhat in their previous round, only to fully redeem themselves by securing a 1:5 win in the second half. Their victory was clearly the most likely outcome from the get-go, though, even though they were playing as the away team.

Mainz 05 are here on the back of a noted triumph against Bochum. They maintained an impressive lead throughout the match, which lead to a comfortable 2:0 home victory.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from Leipzig and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

Mainz’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 9 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

Leipzig are number 5th in the current Bundesliga standings, and the time to move up is rapidly running out. They’ll need 1 point to do so, so this matchup is just what they needed.

This is the second time these two teams will clash as part of the current Bundesliga season. Mainz won the first time around, though it was a rather close victory and most bookies are expecting this match to end differently.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

Decent offers are in short supply for this match, so our best tip is to risk an HT/FT bet and go for Draw/Home. It’s quite a bold offer to take at odds of 1.43, but the betting value makes it interesting.
