RB Leipzig Win • 1.5

Leipzig makes an excellent start to the season and is fourth in the Bundesliga behind Dortmund, Monchengladbach and Bayern. Still undefeated at home, the team has just chained 5 games without conceding a goal on his lawn. In front, Mainz is rather in good shape but the team remains friable outside with only 2 victories since the beginning of the season including one last week against the red lantern Dusseldorf (0-1). Mainz can therefore suffer and bow.

RB Leipzig Win • 1.5

Its time for RB Leipzig to concentrate on the league following their disappointing 1:1 results against Rosenborg in the Europa league. Dayot Upamecano, Lukas Klostermann and Marcel Halstenberg could come back in defense after being rested in the Europa League on Thursday night. Diego Demme and Marcel Sabitzer should return in midfield, while Yussuf Poulsen is expected to replace Jean-Kévin Augustin up front.

Leipzig haven't lost in any of their last 8 home matches with awesome form of 5 wins, 2 draws and 0 lose this season at home ground.

Mainz will come into this game as a hard nut because of their current form. They have only lost one of their last five Bundesliga matches and their last two defeats only came by one-goal margins against Dortmund and Bayern Munich and aslo having a winning streak of 3 matches away from home. Mainz is good but 9 away wins from 30 games won't make them a huge threat (anything can happen though).

These teams have met 4 times, RB Leipzing winning 2, 1 draw and 1 win for Mainz.

RB Leipzing will have some fresh players on the pitch and their home form is another factor to put in consideration to back our tip

Mainz plans will fall short in today's game. Home win for me
