Leipzig had a tough run before the international break and will hope for better times when they resume action, with a Bundesliga home match against Mainz. The hosts go into the game placed fifth on 45 points while Mainz have 37 points, in ninth place. After their 1-0 loss to Bochum in the Bundesliga, it was quite clear that Leipzig needed the international break to strategize. That was the second straight game in which they failed to score and it was right after a 7-0 loss to Manchester City in the Champions League. That loss was also their third in four matches. Leipzig have however done well at home in the league, winning three of their last four matches.

Mainz rarely give Leipzig an easy time, and they will hope to make this another of such situations. They have just one loss in the last four meetings, but they haven't won the last two. Coming into this game, Mainz are unbeaten in their last six matches – the last two were draws, coming from four earlier back-to-back wins. Just like Leipzig, they will be keen on a return to winning ways, and they will also want to maintain their scoring run, having netted in each of their last 11 league matches. Their away run is however not so great, with one win only in six matches.
