The Bundesliga fixture at The Red Bull Arena on Saturday sees home side RB Leipzig go up against opponents Mainz, and we have the latest injury news and predicted line ups to hand.
RB Leipzig prepare for this fixture after a 1-1 Bundesliga stalemate against St. Pauli. In our view, Leipzig should line up in a 4-3-3 formation for this one, handing starts to Peter Gulacsi, Ridle Baku, Willi Orban, E. C. Bitshiabu, David Raum, Xaver Schlager, Nicolas Seiwald, C. Baumgartner, Yan Diomande, Romulo Cruz and Antonio Nusa.
Suleman Sani, Viggo Gebel, Castello Lukeba, Johan Bakayoko and Assan Ouédraogo are not available for RB Leipzig boss Ole Werner. Christoph Baumgartner will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.
How RB Leipzig could look to take on Mainz
Mainz will go into the meeting following on from a 3-1 Bundesliga win to beat VfL Wolfsburg in their most recent match. We believe Mainz seem likely to elect for a 3-5-2 lineup, going with Daniel Batz, Stefan Posch, Stefan Bell, Lennard Maloney, Danny da Costa, Paul Nebel, Kaishu Sano, Jae-Sung Lee, Silvan Widmer, Benedict Hollerbach and Phillip Tietz.
Mainz manager Urs Fischer has a number of players out of action. Arnaud Nordin (muscular problems), Maxim Dal (Cruciate ligament tear), Nikolas Veratschnig (Knock), Anthony Caci (Hamstring injury), Andreas Hanche-Olsen (muscular problems) and Robin Zentner (Adductor injury) are those who can’t be considered. Dominik Kohr is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
