The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Friday's Bundesliga clash between Mainz 05 and Bayer Leverkusen, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Mainz 05 1-3 Bayer Leverkusen

Whilst Mainz have been very impressive this season, and appear to have rediscovered some form in February, a rampant Bayer side will surely prove too much for them. The visitors do not have the strongest defence in the league so we can see Mainz getting on the scoreboard, but it will likely be two or three for Leverkusen. Read more.
