Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Leipzig will look to bounce back from a shocking 1-0 loss to Bochum when they take on Mainz in the Bundesliga round 26. The Red Bulls are a real force to be reckoned with at home, with the team eyeing their tenth home win of the process, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. All Xaver Schlager, Christopher Nkunku, and Peter Gulacsi are sideline with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Die Nullfunfer, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous six league fixtures. Mainz, though, produce much better showings at home than on the travels, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Leipzig. In their last encounter at the venue the Red Bulls outplayed die Nullfunfer 4-1, and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Both Brajan Gruda and Jonathan Burkardt miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
