A look at the history
When you hear 1. FSV Mainz 05 versus RB Leipzig, you think of modern duels and tactical finesse. RB Leipzig is a comparatively young club in the Bundesliga, but has already attracted a lot of attention, while Mainz 05 is defending its position as an established club. There have been a total of 16 duels between these two teams. These encounters have often been intense and have produced many memorable moments. The first meeting in the Bundesliga took place in 2016 and ended 3:1 for RB Leipzig.
The last encounter
Leipzig took control of the game from the outset against a deep Mainz side, but struggled to create any dangerous chances. A controversial handball penalty in the ninth minute was overturned after a long VAR check, as the ball had only hit Hanche-Olsen on the thigh. Leipzig went on to dominate, but Mainz keeper Zentner prevented them from taking the lead on several occasions, including saves from Openda and Olmo. In the closing stages, Barreiro missed a great chance for Mainz and another penalty was not awarded after a video review following a foul on Burkardt. The game ended goalless.
