Command Analysis

Mainz 05

In the previous campaign Mainz had a disastrous first half, throughout the entire season Carnival Club was managed by four different head coaches. Bo Svensson turned out to be the most successful one, after his arrival team got out of the slump and retained the spot in the Bundesliga, finishing on 12th spot in the standings.

In the first official match of the season Mainz finished the regular time of match against Elversberg with a draw, but managed to go through, winning the penalty shoot-out.

RB Leipzig

In the previous season Leipzig failed to win the title - Bulls were pushing Bayern only for some time, then Bayern made a solid handicap. Club finished on a second spot, 13 points behind the champion. During the summer Julian Nagelsmann left the team and now club will be managed by Jesse Marsch, a former head coach of Salzburg.

American manager led the team to a victory over Sandhausen in the first round of German Cup one week ago (4:0).

Head coach was not the only one, who left Leipzig during the off-season. Two key central defenders, Dayot Upamecano and Ibrahima Konate also left the team. Team brought a replacement - Mohamed Simakan from Strasbourg and Josko Gvardiol from Dinamo Zagreb. Bulls also bought Andre Silva from Eintracht and Brian Brobbey from Ajax.

Tip and bets

TipHandicap (-1.5) on Leipzig

2.05

Leipzig is a completely new team now - they have a new head coach, new center of defence, new formation. But we don't think that team became weaker - Bulls are definitely more classy team than Mainz, new signings will try to prove themselves, so we will place a bet on the favourite.

Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1.5) on Leipzig

Mainz were never a good defensive team, so we shouldn't expect them to play in defensive manner. Carnival club is always active at home, they are able to score against any opponent, but they are conceding many goals as well - in a game like that we should expect many goals to be scored.

Our second bet is on total over three goals
