Similarly, RB Leipzig have kept 4 clean sheets in their last 5 matches in all competitions, conceding just twice. However, they have scored five times in this run compared to 1. FSV Mainz’s 6 goals.

This record shows that the two sides are nicely matched, which aligns with our football predictions analysis showing a draw as the best football pick for this clash.

RB Leipzig vs Mainz Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Race To 2 Goals – Neither Team
  • Odds: 2.64 (22Bet)

Recent form shows that the two sides are closely matched. Their positions on the table, 5th and 6th, and the fact that they are level on 38 points after 23 rounds of fixtures also shows how closely matched they are.

Therefore, this dynamic backs the football pick of a low-score draw as the best tip, with the two sides likely to cancel each other out in the match tactically and on the score sheet.
