Team News

Mainz
Bayern
  • Jonathan Burkardt is on his way back from a knee op, but the influential Silvan Widmer is close to return from a heel op. Andreas Hanche-Olsen will miss the rest of the year with an ankle injury, while Nelson Weiper is ruled out after a knee surgery.
  • Karim Onisiwo has a hip injury, while new signing Anwar El Ghazi has been suspended by the club for an anti-Israeli social media post.
  • Manuel Neuer is close to a comeback after breaking his leg in a skiing accident last winter but this one comes too soon for the German. Raphael Guerreiro is ruled out with a muscle injury. Serge Gnabry has returned to training after breaking his arm. Defender Matthijs de Ligt is battling a knee injury. Dayot Upamecano has a muscle injury and will be out for a couple of weeks as well.
  • Eric Choupo-Moting missed international duty with Cameroon, while Joshua Kimmich flew back early from America due to illness.

Prediction

  • Mainz are winless in 12 games, their last win coming against Bayern on Matchday 29 last season.
  • Bayern have scored in 34 Bundesliga games in a row, last failing to find the net in September last year.
  • Struggling Mainz have scored only six goals this season, coupled with the joint worst defensive record with 19 goals conceded.
  • Mainz won this equivalent fixture last season 3-1 and lost 6-2 in Munich so we should expect goals at both ends in a comfortable away win for the perennial champs.
