RB LEIPZIG travel to relegation-threatened Mainz as they look to get their title bid back on track.
Julian Nagelsmann’s side were held to a 1-1 draw last week against Freigburg, their third stalemate in succession.

As a result, they’ve fallen off the pace for the crown and need to get back to winning ways here against a Mainz side barely keeping their heads above water.
They sit precariously above the drop zone but did show great character to bag a point at Koln last week after being 2-0 behind.
