RB Leipzig vs Mainz Prediction & Betting Tips (30 March)

This year, Leipzig was unable to accompany the best Bundesliga teams in the title race. And just a few days before the end of this 2023-2024 season, RasenBall Sport must above all ensure that it can enter the top 4, qualifying for the next Champions League. Beaten at the end of the match by Bayern 2-1, Marco Rose's men got back on track with a lot of seriousness by successively winning against Bochum 1-4, Darmstadt 2-0 and Cologne 1- 5. In the standings, they still remain in 5th position but are only one point behind the 4th place occupied by Dortmund. Opposite, Mainz is still struggling this year.

Still faced with recurring offensive problems and crippling defensive fragility, this team still cannot get out of the red zone and is more likely than ever to have to take a trip to the lower level next year. Hanging at home by Borussia Mönchengladbach, the FSV players then experienced a terrible afternoon against Bayern Munich 8-1 before managing to raise their heads by winning against Bochum 2-0 before the international break. Following this victory, they were able to move up to 16th position, synonymous with a play-off, but they are still 6 lengths behind the first non-relegation place.

Marco Rose will still not be able to count on senior defender Klostermann who remains in the infirmary. To this we add that the important midfielder Haïdara is suspended this week. Author of a double on the last day, Belgian striker Openda now has 19 goals in the Bundesliga. The Dutchman Xavi Simons is also very prominent in this championship with 7 goals and 9 assists. We will also find in this team the Slovenian Sesko (7 goals), the Dane Poulsen (5 goals) and the Spaniard Dani Olmo (3 goals, 4 assists).

On the Mainz side, the replacement striker Weiper, the substitutes Bell and Leitsch and the precious Amiri will not be able to make the trip to Saxony. On top of that, starting midfielder Khor is suspended this week and will therefore have to give up this match too. Author of a double against Bochum, the young striker Burkhard scored his 3rd and 4th goals of the season, becoming the team's top scorer this season.
