RB Leipzig welcome Mainz 05 at Red Bull Arena Leipzig, Leipzig on Saturday, Dec 5 at 3:30 PM in a Bundesliga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
RB Leipzig come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 2L). Mainz 05, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. RB Leipzig head into this on the back of a defeat, while Mainz 05 arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
In 10 previous meetings, RB Leipzig lead 3–5 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Mainz 05 won 2–1.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives RB Leipzig a slight edge, but Mainz 05 are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
