Mainz 05 - RB Leipzig predictions

The visitors understand the difficulty of the task at hand. To beat Mainz 05 on their own turf would be a major feat, and it is always a tough challenge.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Mainz 05 on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

Mainz 05 head into the Saturday fixture with their head held high following a Wolfsburg away draw. They were not expected to come out with anything from their previous Bundesliga game so this point will be a big morale booster for them.

The last time we saw RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga they played at home against Heidenheim. They failed to get a clear lead for more than half the game’s runtime, but completely dominated the second half which resulted in the 2:0 score at the end.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over The Red Bulls’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

We can use last season’s results as a nice starting point in gauging the situation. A quick look at the 2.61 price on an away win makes it easy to understand. They soundly defeated Mainz 05 with a steady goal difference.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 3.69 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
