The FSV Mainz team will challenge the Bayer Leverkusen team in a Matchday 6 German Bundesliga in MEWA ARENA Stadium, Mainz on Saturday, September 30, 2023. For streaming coverage of FSV Mainz vs Bayer Leverkusen, preview and how to watch it, see in this article.
Leverkusen is unbeaten in the last 10 matches in all competitions, with 9 wins. The only draw they got was when they visited Bayern Munich, the defending Bundesliga champion, with a final score of 2-2.
Leverkusen now has 13 points, the same as Bayern Munich who are at the top of the standings. They are only behind in second place because they lost on goal difference. With the ambition to win the top position, coach Xabi Alonso’s team will definitely go all out when they face Mainz at home.
On the other hand, Mainz is definitely not a match for Leverkusen. They only won 1 win in the last 6 matches in the Bundesliga, the rest drew 1 and lost 4. Playing at home is also not an advantage for them. Because in the last 4 home matches in the Bundesliga, they lost 3 and drew 1. What’s interesting, in those 3 losing matches, Mainz always conceded at least 3 goals.
Mainz will host Leverkusen with a shortage of 2 key players, namely Andreas-Hanche-Olsen, Nelson Weiper and Nelson Weiper. Additionally, the chances of Danny da Costa and Maxim Leitsch recovering on time are also very low. Overall, Mainz is experiencing a quite serious personnel crisis.
Leverkusen also lost 2 important players, namely striker Patrik Schick and defender Arthur. However, coach Xabi Alonso has a capable squad, so he can find a replacement solution. The visiting team will most likely play with a 3-4-2-1 formation. In the front position is striker Victor Boniface who is on fire.
According to one football observer, Lothar Matthaus (Sky Sports), also expressed his views in favor of Leverkusen. “Leverkusen currently cannot be beaten. Mainz is also not a suitable opponent for the team coached by coach Xabi Alonso. I am sure that Leverkusen will win with a difference of at least 2 goals in this match,” he said.
Apparently, there is no reason to believe in Mainz in this match. History also supports the team coached by coach Xabi Alonso. Statistics show, in the last 5 visits to the MEWA stadium, Leverkusen dominated with 4 wins.
In short, this was a completely unbalanced match. Leverkusen is superior to Mainz in all aspects. Therefore, it will not be surprising if in this weekend’s match, coach Xabi Alonso’s men will destroy the home team with a win.
