RB Leipzig vs FSV Mainz 05 Predictions

Goals could be on the menu when Leipzig host Mainz at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday. Mainz have scored in four games in a row, including in a 3-1 win over Wolfsburg last weekend, and back over 3.5 goals.

Leipzig are fourth in the league, having won 11, drawn three and lost five of their 19 games this season. Mainz are 16th, with three wins, six draws and ten defeats. The two sides are separated by 21 points.

Leipzig have been in patchy form recently, with two wins, one draw and three defeats in their last six Bundesliga games. Mainz have failed to win eight of their last nine away games, but they did beat Wolfsburg 3-1 last weekend.

There have been four or more goals in nine of Leipzig’s 19 Bundesliga games this season.

A 3-1 win for Leipzig is an appealing correct-score option. Four of their last six Bundesliga games have ended with both sides scoring, and they have been two-goal winners five times this season.
