THE PREDICTION
Arminia Bielefeld’s 2-1 reverse at RB Leipzig last Saturday was their seventh straight defeat and left them in the bottom two for the first time this season. Just above them are Mainz, who, in contrast, lost their first six league games of the campaign but have improved in recent weeks, taking five points from the last three. This is the sort of fixture that both of these sides need to be winning if they are to stay in the top flight. Three of Mainz’s last four Bundesliga victories have come away from home and recent form gives them the edge here.
