Team News

Mainz
Bayern
  • Key man Jonathan Burkardt is still on his way back from a knee operation, but otherwise coach Bo Svensson has a full strength squad at his disposal.
  • Sadio Mané is likely to return to the Bayern squad following his spat with Leroy Sané in Manchester, while Eric Choupo-Moting could return to the squad after overcoming a knee injury.
  • Benjamin Pavard is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow last weekend, and Lucas Hernández continues his recovery from an ACL injury.

Prediction

  • Seeking an 11th Bundesliga title in succession, perennial champions Bayern will have to bounce back from their Champions League exit against Manchester City as Thomas Tuchel returns to the club where he made his name.
  • Mainz will be no pushovers, unbeaten in nine games with five wins pushing them to the brink of Europa League qualification contention.
  • Bayern won the reverse fixture 6-2, but have lost on their last two trips to Mainz.
  • We should see goals at both ends in an entertaining affair with Bayern nicking the win.
