Bayern Munich vs Mainz Preview and Team News

Bayern Munich Team News

Bayern produced another dominant performance in the Bundesliga, thrashing relegation-threatened Heidenheim 0-4 on the road. Vincent Kompany’s men started strongly in the first half, scoring three times. In the second, Joshua Kimmich dealt the final blow.

It’s only a matter of time before Bayern Munich will seize another domestic trophy. With four rounds remaining, they’re eight points ahead of Leverkusen and could secure the Meisterschale if Die Werkself slip against Augsburg.

The club’s talisman, Jamal Musiala, is out with an injury and won’t participate in this Saturday’s clash. Alphonso Davies, Hiroki Ito, Dayot Upamecano, Leon Goretzka, and Manuel Neuer are also sidelined. 

Bayern Munich predicted lineup vs Mainz

Bayern Munich predicted lineup vs Mainz: (4-2-3-1): Urbig; Guerreiro, Kim, Dier, Laimer; Pavlovic, Kimmich; Coman, Olise, Gnabry; Kane.

Mainz Team News

Mainz, who were one of the biggest contenders to finish in the top four, have been on an unsuccessful run recently. The draw against Wolfsburg in the previous round extended their winless streak to five games. They haven’t won since March 7.

Even though nothing is lost for Bo Henriksen’s men, they’re currently placed sixth, and the gap with Leipzig is two points. Moreover, a tough schedule awaits them. Along with Bayern Munich, they’ll face Eintracht, Bochum, and Leverkusen.

Stefan Bell and Maxim Leitsch are two potential absentees who will miss the fixture. Otherwise, there are no concerns in the squad.

Bayern Munich vs Mainz Prediction 

• Pick: Bayern (-1.5) Handicap
• Odds: 1.71 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Bayern Munich 3-1 Mainz

The hosts have been convincing in the Bundesliga this season. Despite a failure in the Champions League, they’ve only lost twice in the domestic championship and have scored 48 times at home.

If we look at the H2H matches between these two clubs, Bayern have achieved crushing victories, scoring four or more goals regularly. We can even remember the 2024 encounter in which the Bavarians won 8-1.

It’s likely the hosts will triumph in this fixture and take another step towards the title. Thus, our first pick here would be Bayern Munich to win with a (-1.5) handicap. 

Bayern Munich vs Mainz Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Over 3.5 Goals
• Odds: 1.88 (22Bet)

Meetings between Bayern Munich and Mainz always turn out to be exciting. To illustrate, in seven out of the last eight H2H games, at least three goals were scored. In some cases, only the hosts managed to net four or more.

Mainz have experienced problems with keeping a clean sheet. The last time they did so was on February 22. However, Bayern have frailties in the back, and the visitors should get their chances on counterattacks.

We anticipate a typical attacking display from Kompany’s men. Harry Kane will aim to score his 25th Bundesliga goal, while Joe Burkardt can move fourth on the top goalscorers list of 2024/25. We suggest picking over 3.5 goals in this weekend’s event.
