Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
High-flying Leipzig will be aiming to record their fourth consecutive league win when they take on Mainz in the Bundesliga round 27. The Red Bulls were scoring goals for fun before the international break and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Lois Openda, who scored a brace in a 5-1 crushing of Koln, will keep his place up front, while midfielder Amadou Haidara misses out through suspension.
Die Nullfunfer, on the other hand, recorded a morale-boosting 2-0 win over Bochum at home on Matchday 26, but given their poor away record in the German top flight, Leipzig should record an easy win on Saturday afternoon. In the first half of the season Mainz defeated Leipzig 2-0, meaning that the Red Bulls are hungry for revenge. As for the visiting side, midfielder Dominik Kohr is banned for the match, while all Nadiem Amiri, Maxim Leitsch, Stefan Bell, and Nelson Weiper are out of contention through injuries.
