Mainz vs RB Leipzig Prediction & Betting Tips (19 October)

Last season, Mainz had to wait until the final days to ensure its survival and retain the right to play in the elite. Obviously, the FSV seems to have learned its lesson and has already got off to a much better start than last year since it has 8 points after 6 days. Defeated at home by Werder Bremen 1-2 and by Heidenheim 0-2, Nullfünfer was on the other hand able to win at Augsburg 2-3 and at Sankt Pauli 0-3 on the last day . Thanks to these two successes, the Mainz players are currently in the soft underbelly of the ranking, in 10th position. RB Leipzig, for its part, hopes to play out the troublemakers in this championship for as long as possible in order to, why not , finally winning his first German championship title .

In any case, he is entitled to have ambitions since, after 6 days, he has the same number of points as the leader, Bayern. The only Bundesliga team still undefeated with Munich, RasenBall Sport remains on 2 consistent successes won in the league against Augsburg 4-0 and Heidenheim 0-1 . On the other hand, Marco Rose's men started their European campaign very badly, losing first against Atlético Madrid 2-1 then against Juventus 2-3.

Suspended before the international break, defender Hanche Holsen will return this weekend. But it will be the turn of important midfielder Dominik Khor to be sanctioned after an accumulation of yellow cards. In addition to this, the young Austrian defensive midfielder Veratschnig has joined the infirmary in recent days. Conversely, most of the executives of this team will be available to play this match. We obviously think of striker Jonathan Burkardt who remains with a double scored against Sankt Pauli. He has therefore reached the mark of 5 goals scored this season.

Also pay attention to midfielders Amiri (2 goals) and Sieb (2 goals). On the Leipzig side, Austrian international midfielder Schlager, the hope Ouédraogo and the precious Kampl will once again have to forfeit this meeting. The German international left back and the precious Henrichs, injured in the back, will also be absent. Once again decisive by scoring the only achievement of the match against Heidenheim, former Lens player Lois Openda scored his 4th achievement of the season. He is still ahead of his attacking pair Sesko (2 goals) and the Dutchman Xavi Simons (1 goal, 2 assists) in the scorers rankings.
