On Saturday afternoon, RB Leipzig host Mainz at the Red Bull Arena, as both teams look to move up the Bundesliga table.
RB Leipzig have experienced an inconsistent Bundesliga campaign that has already led to the exit of Jesse Marsch as head coach this season.
The former head coach’s replacement Domenico Tedesco has made a mixed start to life with Die Roten Bullen, recording one win, picking up one draw and suffering one defeat. Last time out in the German top-flight, Leipzig suffered a 2-0 home defeat against Arminia Bielefeld.
Leipzig head into this game on the back of just one win in their last six league outings, having suffered four defeats in the process. The visitors have also failed to keep a clean sheet in ten matches in the Bundesliga.
One positive for Leipzig of late is their home record, as Die Roten Bullen have won five of their last seven Bundesliga games on home soil. However, they have lost two of their last three league matches on home soil.
Mainz are currently three points outside the top-six in the German top-flight. The visitors recent form has hindered their chances of breaking into the European spots, as Bo Svensson’s team has won just two of their last seven matches in the Bundesliga.
Their recent matches in the Bundesliga have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five matches in the German top-flight.
Mainz have been poor travellers of late in the Bundesliga, losing five of their last six matches in the German top-flight on their travels. The fact that the visitors have kept just one clean sheet in their last ten away matches in the Bundesliga has been a big factor in their poor away record.
Forebet predicts that RB Leipzig will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to leapfrog Mainz in the table and move Die Roten Bullen closer to the European spots in the Bundesliga.
