Leipzig v 1 Fsv Mainz 05 Betting Tips [1 April 2023]

Leipzig are aiming to bounce back when they host Mainz in their next game, a Bundesliga clash. The home team is placed fifth on 45 points and Mainz have 37 points in ninth place as they prepare to face off. The international break might have come at an opportune time for Leipzig, following their three losses in four matches, but here they have another tough encounter. They have only beaten Mainz once in the last four meetings. In their last game, they lost 1-0 to Bochum, failing to score for a second straight match, after an earlier 7-0 loss to Manchester City in the Champions League. However, with three wins in their last four home matches in Bundesliga, Leipzig have a reason to be confident going into this game.

The last meeting between these two sides ended in a 2-2 draw. While Mainz have lost just once in four meetings with Leipzig, they haven't beaten Leipzig in the last two. The visitors go into this game unbeaten in the last six matches, winning four and drawing the most recent two. Mainz have scored in each of their last 11 league matches and meeting a Leipzig side with a shaky run in defence, they will fancy their chances. One area that will give manager Bo Svensson a headache is their performance away from home; Mainz have one win only in six away Bundesliga matches, losing three.

Leipzig have been inconsistent in their recent matches but at home they’ve done well. After taking a break, we expect them to come back stronger. Though Mainz have given Leipzig a few tough moments, our prediction for Leipzig v Mainz is for Leipzig to win.
