Bayer 04 Leverkusen-----Draw-----1.FSV Mainz 05
1.32 6 9.40
You know this is literally the first game of the table going up against a team in the relegation zone.
If somehow Mainz can even get 1 point from this match I am going to be pretty impressed.
Or it will have to be a pretty trash performance from Leverkusen.
For me, the result of the match Leverkusen vs Mainz is very clear and no doubt. Leverkusen will play at home, they will have an extra motivation to win the match. There is no way that Leverkusen will miss 3 points because they will play all out. They will secure 3 points to keep the gap with Bayern Munich, Xabi Alonso must order all players to get the advantage playing at home. Moreover, they are playing with a weak team, Mainz is in the relegation zone. It will be a shame if Leverkusen will miss 3 points when they are playing against a weak team at home. Xabi Alonso won't accept a lose or a draw in this match, he must only target for winning the match. Leverkusen is very obvious that they have a better quality of the squad, they are also in a good performance during this season. They have no reason to get a bad result in this match.
Well, I predict that Leverkusen will score 2 goals at least. TBH, I hope Leverkusen will score more than 2 goals. I'll bet a win for Bayer Leverkusen.


Leverkusen was able to win as expected against Mainz. They were able to break the deadlock from the very start of the match. See them concede in the 7th minute of the match. But in the end, all that matters is that they were able to get the three points. 2-1 is the final score in favor of Leverkusen. It would have been better if they were able to keep a clean sheet.
But at this point, they have a good point advantage over Bayern Munich. So I believe they should concentrate on getting more points instead of keeping a clean sheet. So I will say that they are moving forward in the right direction. Right now the point difference with Bayern Munich is 11. Let's see if Bayern Munich can decrease that difference
