In this 6th week match, on Sat Sep 30th, Bayer Leverkusen and Mainz 05 will play a match in Mainz in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Bundesliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 17 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Mainz 05 is fresh off their 1-2 loss against Augsburg. Ludovic Ajorque scored the first goal for Mainz 05 in the 6th minute, but Ermedin Demirović got the equalizer for Augsburg in the 15th minute Finally they completed the comback victory in the 45th minute on a goal by Ermedin Demirović to cap off a wild match. Mainz 05 looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10, while 2nd placed Bayer Leverkusen is fresh off their 4-1 win against Heidenheim. Victor Okoh Boniface struck first for Bayer Leverkusen in the 9th minute, then Eren Dinkci tied it up for Heidenheim in the 58th minute on a feed from Jan-Niklas Beste. Bayer Leverkusen should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Bayer Leverkusen is glad to have Victor Okoh Boniface in top form. In the last five matches the attacker has scored 5 goals. Mainz 05’s most prolific scorer has been Tom Krauss. He has netted 2 goals over the last 5 matches
