Mainz Preview – Can Mainz out up resistance?
Mainz produced a strong finish to the end of their Bundesliga campaign last season as the hosts suffered just one defeat from their last 11 matches overall in the German top flight, which was a 3-1 loss at home to Borussia Dortmund.
Nevertheless, Mainz also registered six wins during this sequence to lift themselves away from the relegation zone and they finished in a respectable looking 12th place and more importantly, six points clear of the bottom three.
Mainz also improved results at home as well as the hosts struggled in the first half of the season, failing to win any of their opening nine games of the season, losing seven of these matches; Mainz have only beaten RB Leipzig once in their last six meetings too.
RB Leipzig Preview – Can RB Leipzig make positive start?
RB Leipzig’s title challenge faded very quickly towards the end of last season in the Bundesliga as the visitors managed to gain just one win from their final six games of the campaign which came in the shape of a 2-0 home win against Stuttgart.
However, three defeats within this period to Cologne, Borussia Dortmund and Union Berlin meant that RB Leipzig had to make do with the runners-up spot behind the usual suspects, Bayern Munich, while results on the road also fizzled out.
Three defeats on the trot on the road put paid to Leipzig’s title challenge but they’d previously strung together a five-match winning streak so they’ll be hoping they can re-discover that sort of form on Sunday at Mainz.
