Comments RB Leipzig vs Mainz: Back to the race
RB Leipzig had to pay the price for putting too much effort into the continental front, specifically two death battles with Man City in the 1/8 round of the C1 Cup. In the last 4 rounds, the red shirt team has tasted bitter cups twice, against Dortmund and Bochum respectively.
As a result, RB Leipzig was surpassed by Freiburg in the rankings. Although the season is still quite long, if they don't return quickly, Marco Rose's teachers and students can completely finish outside the top 4, thereby not being able to complete their goal of continuing to participate in the C1 Cup arena next season.
This round, RB Leipzig will host Mainz. More than anyone else, Rose's teachers and students understand that retaining 3 points is a mandatory command to complete for them. A draw or defeat will leave RB Leipzig in a losing position in the race to the top 4.
Currently, Mainz has a total of 37 points, ranked 9th on the rankings. The last two rounds Mainz did not perform well when they were held by Hertha Berlin and Freiburg. Away, the red shirt team won 1, drew 2, lost 3 in the last 6 matches. In the last 4 seasons, Mainz has been empty-handed as a guest of RB Leipzig, receiving a total of 19 goals.
