Mainz lead 1-0!
It was coming! Karim Onisiwo's cross from the right is met by a diving header from Lee Jae-sung. It's 1-0, and deservedly so on this second-half performance.

More on Leipzig
Dani Olmo is out until next year after undergoing shoulder surgery. Christoph Baumgartner gets the nod at attacking midfield alongside Xavi Simons, while Marco Rose looks to be using wing-backs today.
More on Mainz
Jan Siewert looks to have kept faith with Bo Svensson's preferred 3-4-2-1 formation, but there are changes in personnel, with Tom Krauß and Ludovic Ajorque dropping to the bench.

Hope for Mainz
The teams' contrasting form ahead of kick-off might point to one-way traffic in Leipzig's favour, but Mainz have actually won three of their last five encounters with Die Bullen, losing just once.
On a roll
Leipzig have started the season well - so well, in fact, that their haul of 20 points from nine games represents the second-best return in the club's top-flight history. Only in 2016/17 did the team have more points (21) at this stage of the campaign.

Watch: Bochum 2-2 Mainz
Unwanted record
Mainz are currently bottom of the table and are yet to win this season. With just three points on the board so far, it's the club's worst ever start to a top-flight campaign.
