RB Leipzig are in a thankless fifth place in the battle to qualify for the Champions League. That could change on Saturday.

RB Leipzig must once again exert pressure in the battle for the Champions League in the long-distance duel with Borussia Dortmund and win against relegation candidates FSV Mainz 05. The Saxons host 16th-placed FSV on Saturday afternoon and can climb past Dortmund into fourth place with a point. BVB have to play record champions Bayern Munich in the evening. Leipzig have won three times in a row in the Bundesliga and are also favorites against Mainz. However, RB have never won the last three matches, losing twice in a row and failing to score a goal.
