Leipzig is one team that can really control the game here. The last meeting between the two teams saw Leipzig blow out Mainz in their last meeting. Look for Mainz to struggle in the game here as well, but should be able to work out a couple of goals. The downside is Leipzig has an offensive force that is sure to be coming to life after getting back to form after playing Freiburg. Look for the game to go on the over in this game as Leipzig comes to life offensively.
