THE PREDICTION
Three games, three defeats and inside the automatic relegation places. It’s fair to say that Gerardo Seoane’s job is very much under threat at Bayer Leverkusen as they travel to Mainz desperately hoping for a change in fortunes. However, it’s difficult to see that happening when considering just how poor they have played across the opening few games of the campaign. Devoid of confidence, leaking goals (five conceded across their last two) and struggling to score themselves, it’s difficult to see things turning around in a hurry. Mainz on the other have started well, winning two and drawing one of their three Bundesliga fixtures in 2022-23. Momentum is high among their camp and they look well set to extend Leverkusen’s misery here, so back them to pick up the three points.
