Prediction: Bayern Munich to win 3-0
Mainz and Bayern Munich will lock horns with each other in the Bundesliga this coming weekend. The match between Bo Svensson’s side and Thomas Tuchel’s team will be held at the MEWA Arena and is scheduled to kick off at 5:30 pm UK time on Saturday.
Mainz
Mainz are really struggling at the moment, and there is a very good chance that they could get relegated from the Bundesliga at the end of the season. Although it is still only the middle of October, the signs are looking quite bad.
Die Nullfünfer finished as high as ninth in the Bundesliga table last season, so it does come as a surprise that they are struggling at the moment. Mainz are second from bottom in the league standings with just two points from seven matches.
Mainz have yet to win a game in the Bundesliga this season. Bo Svensson’s side have lost four of their last five matches.
Team News:
Mainz will be without the suspended Anwar El Ghazi. The home team are likely to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation. Robin Zentner will be in goal and will have Sepp van den Berg, Stefan Bell and Edimilson Fernandes ahead of them in a three-man defence. Danny da Costa, Tom Krauss, Leandro Barreiro and Anthony Caci will be the four midfielders. Ludovic Ajorque will lead the line for Mainz and will have Brajan Gruda and Lee Jae-Sung behind him in attacking midfield.
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich are the dominant force in German football and keep on winning the Bundesliga title, but they have not been at their best so far this season. And, it does look like the likes of Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund could really push them all tyhe way this campaign.
Thomas Tuchel’s side are third in the Bundesliga table at the moment with 17 points from seven matches. Bayern are two points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen and a point behind VfB Stuttgart in second. Borussia Dortmund in fourth are level on points with Bayern.
Bayern have not lost any Bundesliga matches this season, but they have drawn two of their seven games. The Bavarian giants have won three of their last five league games.
Team News:
Bayern Munich are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. England international striker Harry Kane, who joined Bayern from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window, will lead the line for the defending Bundesliga champions. Sven Ulreich will be in goal. Noussair Mazraoui, Dayot Upamecano, Kim Min-Jae and Alphonso Davies will be the four defenders. Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka will be the two holding midfielders and will have Kingsley Coman, Thomas Muller and Leroy Sane ahead of them in a more attacking role.
Key Factors to Consider
- Mainz have scored 6 goals in 7 Bundesliga matches.
- Mainz have conceded 19 goals in 7 Bundesliga matches.
- Bayern Munich have scored 23 goals in 7 Bundesliga games.
- Bayern Munich have conceded 6 goals in 7 Bundesliga games.
- Harry Kane has scored 8 goals and given 4 assists in 7 Bundesliga matches for Bayern Munich.
Conclusion
Mainz have been one of the worst teams in the Bundesliga so far this season, and it is hard to see them pick up a point against Bayern Munich even at home. Although Mainz will be determined to get their season back on track with a win against Bayern, it is very likely that this match will end in a win for the visiting team.
