Mainz 05 RB Leipzig betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 12^th position of the league, with 36 points won, after 10 wins, 6 draws and 15 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Fortuna Düsseldorf, by (3‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Hannover 96, by (1‑0). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. For the league, Mainz 05 won 17 points out of 30 possible points, after 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in the last 10 home matches. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (6 out of 15 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 31 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 17 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Mainz 05 come to this game with a 1-0 away loss to Hannover 96, registering the seventh straight defeat in the last ten Bundesliga games. Despite playing with the support of their fans, coach Sandro Schwarz should play in 4-4-2, benefiting the low block and the long balls for the attack: Karim Onisiwo and Jean-Philippe Mateta are responsible for targeting the opponent's defensive line. However, we warn the hosts' weaknesses in the aerial game, ball possession, finalization and in the attack-defense transition. Jean-Philippe Mateta is Mainz 05's top scorer, with 12 goals scored. For this game the home coach can not count on Mwene, Berggreen and Gurleyen, players recovering from injury.
