----------------------------------- 

FSV Mainz 05 is hosting RB Leipzig at Opel Arena in round 18 in the German Bundesliga.

 

It looks like Mainz is playing worse and worse with every game, and they are still waiting for their second win of the season. the only worse team than Mainz this season is Schalke, but it’s a close race. Mainz is in 17th place in Bundesliga with only 7 points, only 15 scored goals, and massive 36 conceded goals, and they will be getting relegated, there is no doubt in my mind. In their last 4 Bundesliga games, Mainz has 3 losses and 1 draw alongside 10 conceded goals and only 3 scored goals. Mainz was hosting Wolfsburg just a few days ago, and they have had only 37% of ball possession, 0 shots on goal, 2 corner kicks, 0 big chances created, and extremely low 57% of the correct passes. Mainz has shown nothing in this match, and they have lost this game 0-2. Mateta is the leading goalscorer for Mainz with only 7 goals so far this season. Kunde is the only injured player for Mainz at this time. It’s time for Mainz to rethink their strategy, and the best way to do it is to play in the league more suited for them, Bundesliga 2.

 

Leipzig is in good form, but they are struggling a bit in the attacking end. Leipzig has won 2 of their last 4 games while losing 1 game, while one game ended in a draw. Leipzig is still in pursuit of Bayern, and they are now in second place with 35 points, just 4 points away from Bayern. Leipzig has started the season great in the attacking end, but they have since cooled off, and Leipzig has scored 29 goals so far. Leipzig’s defense on the other hand is the best in the league, and Leipzig has conceded only 14 goals so far. Leipzig was hosting Union Berlin in their last Bundesliga game, and they were a much better team with 67% of ball possession, 5 shots on goal, 5 corner kicks, 4 big chances created, and a decent 88% of the correct passes. Leipzig was struggling in the attacking end, as they do as of late, but they were able to score a winning goal in the 70th minute, and the final score was 1-0. Leipzig needs a real striker capable of scoring 15+ goals per season, while their current leading goalscorers are Poulsen, Angelino, and Forsberg with 4 goals each. Dani Olmo has added 5 assists. Laimer, Henrichs, Konate, and Szoboszlai are all injured for Leipzig. If they want to stay on Bayern’s tail, Leipzig must keep winning games, and they certainly have the quality to do so.

 

Mainz hasn’t won any of their last 10 games, and they haven’t won in their last 11 home games in a row. Leipzig hasn’t lost any of their last 6 games on the road. It’s time for Leipzig to finally get back on track on the attacking end, and there is no better team to do it than Mainz. I’m taking Leipzig and goals.
