RB Leipzig vs Mainz Betting Tips

RB Leipzig vs Mainz Prediction 1: RB Leipzig to Win

Leipzig had a memorable time against Mainz last season, winning their two Bundesliga meetings by a combined score of 13. Leipzig won 8-0 at home in November last year before following up with a 5-0 rout at Mainz in May. However, leading scorer Timo Werner has left for Chelsea after netting a hat-trick in both hammerings. So, an equally emphatic victory seems unlikely.

RB Leipzig vs Mainz Betting Tips

Hee-chan Hwang has been signed from Salzburg as Werner's replacement and he scored the final goal in Leipzig's 3-0 DFB Pokal win at Nuremberg last weekend. However, he is unlikely to have the same influence, particularly so early in his development.

RB Leipzig vs Mainz Prediction 2: Under 2.5 total goals

Leipzig, who impressed in reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League last season, failed to win in ten of their 17 home games last season and may take time to hit top stride. Mainz finished the last campaign strongly with only five defeats in their final 13 games. They had victories over Borussia Dortmund, Hertha Berlin and Frankfurt in that period.

Seven of the last eight meetings between these two sides have featured four or more goals. Leipzig won five of these occasions and has won three of the four matches that took place on their home soil.
