Mainz 05 - RB Leipzig betting tips and odds

Upsets do happen in football and it’s fair to say a home win here would be a definition of the case. Mainz 05 can count themselves lucky if they avoid getting completely destroyed by RB Leipzig in this match.

Taking a 1.44 bet on an away game can often be risky but when it comes to Team from Leipzig ahead of their trip to Mainz, this match can be a great addition to your betting slip.

Mainz 04 faced off against Wolfsburg in the previous round at OPEL ARENA. The visitors were considered a considerably stronger team. As such, the 0:2 score was not much of a surprise, although Mainz 04 did manage to hold on to a tie for the first 45 minutes.

The Red Bulls managed to win their latest home outing against Union Berlin, if only by a hairpin. Most betting predictions expected more from them considering the balance of power was in their favour, though, and a narrow 1:0 is nothing be excited about.

Mainz’s recent Bundesliga away games were marked by a lot of concessions – 6 over the last 3 matches, to be exact. Therefore, betting on goals might be a fairly reasonable option here.

The season hasn’t been going great for Mainz 04. They’re stuck at 17th place, well within the relegation zone. There will be plenty of chances to place better, though online bookmakers don’t think their odds of earning points this Saturday are great.

Leipzig are one of the table leaders with a 2nd placement. Success is still a ways off, though an away win this Saturday would help a lot.

Sadly, we can’t get good value here and still stay cautious. An HT/FT bet for Draw/Away is the best option due to the visitor’s tendency to stumble in the first half.
