Sporting Life Price Boost: Enhanced odds for Sunday's Bundesliga clash between Mainz and RB Leipzig


Sunday's Sporting Life Price Boost comes from RB Leipzig's Bundesliga clash, where Sky Bet have enhanced the price on a goalscorer double.

Head here to back Robin Quaison and Timo Werner both to score - now 7/1

We've asked the team at Sky Bet for an enhanced Price Boost for Sunday's clash between Mainz and RB Leipzig.

Julian Nagelsmann's Leipzig side suffered a title setback as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Freiburg, and they face a Mainz side who drew 2-2 at Koln.

Robin Quaison will be keen to get up and running after the enforced break having failed to fire in Mainz's return fixture.

The Swedish attacker is their leading goalscorer this season with 12 goals and two assists in 25 league appearances, averaging nearly 2.5 shots per game.

Timo Werner has been linked with a move to the Premier League

Timo Werner meanwhile, is the big name for Leipzig and all eyes will be on him after consistent links to the Premier League.

The German forward has 27 goals in total this term but is in the midst a drought by his standards, going four games without a goal.

He nevertheless averages nearly four shots per game in the league and went close last weekend with two efforts hitting the target, so we're expecting him to get back on track here.

Tom Carnduff has predicted goals for both teams in his preview and you can back their top goalscorers to both get on the score sheet here at an enhanced price.

RB Leipzig were the only side in the top-five to drop points last weekend as they were held at home by Freiburg.

Julian Nagelsmann will be feeling annoyed that his side didn't produce better from the chances they created. Their 2.03 xG counted for nothing compared to Freiburg's 0.38. Given how their opponents had a 90th minute winner ruled out, they can perhaps count themselves lucky that they secured a point.

There's a good chance that this game provides goals given the chances created last week, although we're incredibly unlikely to see a repeat of the 8-0 scoreline in the reverse fixture - a game where Timo Werner netted a hat-trick.

The 4/9 price on a Leipzig victory provides little appeal. Even taking the away side on the -1 handicap takes us to shades of odds-against. Instead, delving into the stats market is where the best bet can be found.

The attention was on Werner in the last meeting between these two sides but there is value in backing Yussuf Poulsen to have chances to get onto the scoresheet. The striker netted in his last outing.

Poulsen has started Leipzig's last two fixtures where he posted a total of eight shots. His season average of 2.3 shots per game, despite a near 50/50 split of starts and appearances from the bench, highlight his threat in front of goal.

It must be acknowledged that this Leipzig side provide a real attacking threat. Only Bayern Munich can boast more average shots on target per game, while the same can be said for total shots. Nagelsmann's men are seeing one in every 2.5 shots being on target.

In this contest, there's little to suggest that they can't play to their usual high standards in front of goal as they return to winning ways on the road.
