Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Mainz vs RB Leipzig

Mainz

Mainz finished the last German championship draw at the bottom of the standings and at one time was even a contender for relegation, but still managed to keep a residence permit in the elite of German football. This season, the team definitely intends to improve not only its game, but also the results.

In the match of the first round, the home team will be the underdogs of the opposition, but they will still play on their own field and this circumstance leaves Mainz with certain chances for points. A good realization of scoring chances at someone else's goal and a reliable game in defense are the main factors that should help Mainz in the first round match.

RB Leipzig

Last season, the bulls tried for a long time to impose a struggle on Bayern at the top of the standings, but still lost to Munich and finished second. A great result for RB Leipzig, which will be headed by Jesse Marsh this season after the departure of Julian Nagelsmann to Bayern.

Of course, the players and the coaching staff of RB Leipzig plan to fight for the leading positions in the new championship, but this time the competition at the top of the Bundesliga standings will only increase. And it is completely unclear how Leipzig will play under the new head coach.

RB Leipzig is rightly considered the favorite of the match against Mainz in the first round of the German championship, because last season the guests were contenders for the championship title and in the new campaign they plan to fight for high places again. What to expect from the hosts in the new season is not yet clear, but in terms of their personnel potential and class, the Mainz players are inferior to the RB Leipzig players. A good choice for the forecast may be a bet on RB Leipzig with a handicap (-1.5) for 2.36.
