Prediction

  • Bottom club Mainz are winless in 14 games, their last win coming against Bayern on Matchday 29 last season.
  • 5th placed Leipzig have frittered away unnecessary points, missing two penalties against Bochum and also threw away a two-goal home lead to the perennial champions Bayern.
  • Mainz will be bouyed by a last-gasp equaliser last Friday, but enjoy 24 hours less rest than the visitors from DFB Pokal exploits in midweek.
  • Mainz have scored only nine league goals, coupled with the second worst defensive record with 24 goals conceded.
  • Both sides suffered horrible cup exits in midweek, Leipzig should have too much quality for hapless Mainz.
