Mainz fought really hard in their road match last week and eventually managed to scrape a point from that trip. They will now return home for a quite strong match, where they will play host to RB Leipzig on Sunday. RB Leipzig were stuck at a quite unexpected draw at home against Freiburg and will look to bounce back.

Mainz (8-15-3) will surely be feeling proud about their performance on the road against Koln last week, where they came back from two goals behind to force a 2-2 draw. They have been in really solid shape in their last six matches, losing just once in that span (2-1-3). Mainz are now sitting at the 15th spot of the league table with 27 points, four ahead of the red line. They have a 4-7-2 record at home, but have won just one of their last seven home matches (1-4-2).

RB Leipzig (14-3-9) were not very effective in their home match against Freiburg last week, despite creating a ton of scoring chances. The problem was their inability to turn those chances into goals, as they had a late equalizer and almost lost had it not been for a disallowed goal by their opponents. Even so, that 1-1 draw extended their undefeated streak to eight matches in all competitions. RB Leipzig are now 5th in the league table with 51 points, one behind Gladbach and two behind Bayer Leverkusen. They have been really good on the road so far (7-2-4).

RB Leipzig completely destroyed Mainz by a massive 0-8 at home in the first round of the season, which means that all seven matches between the two have featured at least three goals. I am going with the Over on this one.
