They started dropping points right before the league broke off owing to Coronavirus and unfortunately for RB Leipzig, things failed to take a turn for the better for them when the league restarted as well. From sitting in first place in January to now falling seven points behind leaders Bayern Munich, for RB Leipzig, 2020 has been a horrendous outing for the side.
The side’s recent form has seen them plunge all the way down into fifth spot, now closer to dropping out of the Champions League berth than sealing the title in their favour. The foregone 1-1 draw to Freiburg was the side’s third successive draw, a result which was an epitome of the side’s regressing form.

The side’s appalling showing leaves them in dire need of a win with every encounter for the side now a must win one. Fortuitously for them, they go to face off against Mainz today with the 15th placed opponent set to finally offer much needed solace for RB Leipzig in a time of peril and tedium.
Probable Winner
Today’s clash will see Mainz thrust everything they have gotten into defence. With RB Leipzig stuttering on the attacking front, the home side will look to restrain RB Leipzig from scoring past them as they strive to keep themselves adrift of the bottom three.
This will see us be in for a closely contested affair, one where RB Leipzig are made to squirm their way across the 90 minutes. However, despite their travesties, RB Leipzig should manage to scram their way to the three points with Mainz’s defence unable to withstand the onslaught of shots sent down their way.
