Command Analysis

Mainz 05

Current form
Mainz has proven itself to be an unpredictable team since the start of the season, with different results expected in individual matches. The Carnival team has alternated wins and losses in the last four rounds, winning away and losing at home. Before the international break, Bo Henriksen men beat St. Pauli 3-0, making good use of their few attacking chances: three out of four shots on target were accurate. After six rounds, Mainz is in tenth place in the league table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to a card bust, Kor won't play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Mainz have scored at least three goals in six of their last eight Bundesliga matches
- Mainz lost in the first half in only one of their previous five matches
Probable line-up : Centner - Kasi, Jentz, Hansche-Ohlson - Widmer, Sano, Amiri, Mwene - Zib, Lee - Burkardt.

RB Leipzig

Current form
Leipzig took advantage of Bayern recent misfires and caught up with them in the standings. The teams have 14 points each, but the Munich team is in first place thanks to better additional indicators. Marco Rose charges won in two rounds in a row - they crushed Augsburg (4:0) and won against Heidenheim with a minimal score of 1:0. Between these matches there was an offensive defeat in the Champions League against Juventus (2:3). It should be noted that Leipzig has a hard time in matches with opponents who defend compactly and in an organized manner, while the "bulls" themselves are very reliable in defense - only two goals conceded in six rounds.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ouedraogo, Schlager and Raum will not play today due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Leipzig are unbeaten in 17 Bundesliga matches
- In three of their previous five matches in all competitions, Leipzig have drawn in the first half
Estimated line-up : Gulácsi – Gertruyda, Orban, Lukeba, Henrichs – Nusa, Hajdara, Vermeeren, Simons – Šeshko, Openda.

1.48Bet Exact score 1:1
Two of the last four head-to-head matches ended in a draw
6.70Tip and bets
We don't think that the visitors will easily get three points today, the "bulls" have a hard time scoring goals, and they will have to play against an inconvenient opponent, whom they failed to beat in the last four head-to-head meetings. "Mainz", of course, is too unpredictable, but at the same time they are always ready to present a surprise and clearly use the slightest opportunities in attack.
Our prediction is a victory for Mainz with an Asian handicap (+1) at odds of 1.55
Bet on total
It is worth noting that in the three previous head-to-head matches, Leipzig failed to break through Mainz defense even once. In general, since the beginning of the season, the "bulls" have had many problems with positional attacks and it is unlikely that we should expect a large number of goals from them.
The second bet is Leipzig individual total goals under 1.5 with odds of 2.10
Bet on corners
It should be noted that in three of the last four matches, Mainz did not lose on corners. Bookmakers are clearly underestimating the hosts in this game component, which can be used in betting.
Prediction: Mainz win on corners with a handicap of (+1.5) with odds of 1.60
