THE PREDICTION
Tenth-placed RB Leipzig will have no doubt used the winter break as a way to orchestrate a complete reset for their side after an extremely poor opening half of the campaign which saw head coach Jesse Marsch removed from his post. Mainz meanwhile, sit one place above their opponents, but defeat here would see them overtaken. When assessing both squads, RB Leipzig comfortably boasts the stronger team in terms of individual ability and assuming that Domenico Tedesco has used the winter break wisely in terms of working with his players to adapt his style of play, we should see a stronger RB Leipzig unit here. Therefore, back the hosts to emerge victorious at Red Bull Arena.
