RB Leipzig vs Mainz Prediction & Betting tips
Second-placed RB Leipzig will receive the 1. FSV Mainz on Saturday afternoon for the 15th matchday. Both teams have lost their last Bundesliga match away and want to do better this week.
RB Leipzig :
The Red Bulls have also in the top table region established in the new season after the past promotion season, in which they were quickly runner-up. At the moment they are in second place, but they are already six points behind leaders FC Bayern Munich. If they want to stay in second place, they should win their next game if possible, because with the FC Schalke, the Gladbacher foal and the TSG Hoffenheim sit them three teams with only one, two or three points behind in the neck.
In the first season in the Champions League, however, the men had to pay coach Ralph Hasenhüttl apprenticeship. In a group that would have been feasible, they eliminated with seven points, but may continue in the Euro League and have already sent out a challenge. After the week’s failure against Besiktas in front of the home fans, the tenor was in front of the cameras that they want to win the rather unpopular trophy.
Last season, there was a 4: 0 away clap at the TSG Hoffenheim. For the first time in the still young Bundesliga history of the club, they were really no chance and the result is also in the amount in order. At no time did the Saxons get their usual pace on the pitch and conceded their fourth defeat this season.
On Saturday they want to make it better against the Mainz again. The previous two duels against the FSV they decided in the past season for themselves.
Coach Hasenhüttl will be revving vigorously not only because of the many English weeks that are biting the professionals of the Red Bulls, but also because of the many injured players.
Sabitzer will definitely be missing. Forsberg and Upamecano are questionable.
Bernardo, Konaté, Laimer and Poulsen could join the team in the match against Besiktas.
Gulacsi – Bernardo, Konaté, Orban, Halstenberg – Keita, Laimer – Kampl, Bruma – Y. Poulsen, Ti. Werner
Mainz :
With only one victory from the last four Bundesliga games, the air is slowly getting thinner for the 05er. At the moment they rank on the 14th place in the table with only three points ahead of the relegation place.
The last two Bundesliga games had to leave the Mainz each as a loser. First, it put out in the basement duel at SC Freiburg a conceivable narrow 2: 1 defeat and last match day they were without a chance against home crowd against FC Augsburg and went down with 1: 3.
The congenial duo Finnbogason and Gregoritsch on the side of Fuggerstädter scored in the first half two goals and thus led to the break with 0: 2. The joy over the 1: 2 connecting hit by Holtmann in the 85th minute did not last long, because only one minute S.
later Finnbogason made the cover with his second goal on that day and the Augsburger started the journey home with three points.
On Saturday, the 05er have a very tough away match in front of the chest. You have to play against RB Leipzig in the Red Bull Arena and the chances of getting there are minimal.
Bell is missing Gelbgesperr, for him could defend hack.
Muto and Brosinski seem to be fit again and could refer Holtmann and Kodro to the bench.
Zentner – Donati, Hack, Diallo, Brosinski – Gbamin – Maxim, Latza – Oztunali, De Blasis – Muto
