Bayern Munich wrapped up their tenth straight league title in the Bundesliga last weekend. They will be looking to maintain that momentum with a sixth straight victory in the German top-flight this weekend against Mainz.
As far as Bayern Munich are concerned, their job this season is complete. With no Champions League football or DFB Pokal final to come, the Bundesliga title was the only honour that the Bavarian giants could win this season. Bayern achieved that unrivalled success of a tenth straight domestic title last weekend, as they won for the fifth game running.
The title was wrapped up with a 3-1 success against their closest challengers, as they eased to the three points at the Allianz Arena against Borussia Dortmund. Serge Gnabry opened the scoring, while Robert Lewandowski added a second before the half time break. Dortmund did pull a goal back, but they never really threatened to get back into the game.
The title was confirmed with seven minutes remaining, as Jamal Musiala completed the scoring. The attention will now turn to ensuring that they win by a commanding advantage.
Mainz had been in the hunt for a European finish up until a month or so ago. However, now, they appear set to conclude the Bundesliga season in the middle of the standings. They have picked up 39 points from the 31 games that they have played. Mainz have been exceptionally disappointing in their previous five, as they have failed to pick up a win.
During that run of fixtures, Mainz have lost on three occasions, and have been held to two draws. They have also lost three of their last four in the Bundesliga. Their third defeat during that period was suffered last Friday, as they were hammered 5-0 on the road by Wolfsburg.
Bayern has picked up wins in eight of the previous nine fixtures between the sides. That includes three victories from four away games against Mainz. However, Mainz did win this fixture last season, as they beat Bayern 2-1 in April.
This should be an entertaining fixture in the Bundesliga with both teams playing for very little. However, it is easy to see Bayern outscoring their rivals, and it could be a big success for the recently crowned champions of Germany. We could see the Bavarians winning 3-0.
