Mainz – RB Leipzig : Preview & Prediction
The Mewa Arena in Mainz will be the setting for a match counting for the 10th day of the German Bundesliga in a game of extremes between Mainz (bottom of the table with just 3 points overall) and Leipzig (20 points). The match is scheduled for Saturday November 4, with kick-off at 3.30pm. Mainz have been in poor form since the start of the Bundesliga season, finishing bottom of the table with 6 defeats and 3 draws in 9 games. Although 15th place is just 3 points behind, the fact that they have not won a single match in the league is a cause for concern for the team led by former Strasbourg striker Ludovic Ajorque. After losing 3-1 at home to reigning champions Bayern Munich in the German top flight, Mainz shared the points the following weekend at Bochum (2-2). On Wednesday evening, in the 1/16th final of the DFB Pokal (German Cup) at second-division Hertha Berlin, the home side lost 3-0, thus eliminating them from this stage of the competition. Leipzig, who remain just one point off the Bundesliga podium, will be able to concentrate on the league and the Champion’s League after their surprise 1-0 defeat by Wolfsburg in the German Cup on Tuesday. The defeat ended a run of 3 consecutive victories, including a 3-1 home win over Serbian side Red Star in the UEFA Champions League, followed by a resplendent 6-0 victory over Cologne.
