Mainz vs RB Leipzig prediction: How will Bundesliga fixture play out today?

The Bundesliga is back and the action continues as Mainz host RB Leipzig today.

Leipzig are one of the league's most exciting teams, but they misfired last week as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Freiburg.

A win today is a must if they are to retain any hope of overhauling Bayern Munich at the top of the table.

Mainz have been struggling this season, but they proved they are no pushovers last week as they fought back from two goals down to draw with Koln.
