Given the attacking quality on display and the defensive frailties of both teams, an entertaining affair is on the cards this weekend.
That said, we are backing a share of the spoils with the sides having to settle for a point apiece come the end of the 90 minutes.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Tight affair expected
HOME: 8/5 (2.60) – 38.5%DRAW: 5/2 (3.50) – 28.6%AWAY: 6/4 (2.50) – 40%*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Mainz have failed to come out on top in any of their last six home league matches since the start of March, but a 38.5% win probability suggests the hosts have a decent chance of ending that run this weekend.
Bo Henriksen's men battled hard to secure a 1-1 draw against Wolfsburg last time out and avoid a second consecutive league defeat thanks to Nadiem Amiri's 89th-minute penalty.
With a 40% chance of winning and odds priced at 2.50, Leipzig will head into this weekend's meeting off the back of a 2-0 win over Heidenheim to get their season up and running after a 6-0 thrashing at the hands of Bayern Munich on the opening weekend.
Christoph Baumgartner opened the scoring three minutes into the second half to set Ole Werner's men on their way, after which Romulo sealed the deal on his first start for Die Roten Bullen.
