Mainz 05 was once a favorite opponent for RB Leipzig. The 8:0 from November 2019 is unforgettable. But they haven't won at home against Mainz for four years.

From favorite to fearful opponent: RB Leipzig has been without a home win against FSV Mainz 05 for four years and wants to change that on Saturday. Coach Ole Werner's team can only secure fourth place with a win against the Rheinhessen side. Leipzig will have to replace two regular players. Castello Lukeba is still missing in central defense due to a knee injury. Top scorer Christoph Baumgartner will have to miss out due to a yellow card suspension.
