Bayern Munich vs Mainz Prediction & Betting Tips (14 December)

Without real competition at its level this season, Bayern Munich maintains an unsustainable pace for all of its opponents. Vincent Kompany's men have indeed taken 37 points out of the 39 put into play this season in the Bundesliga. And since their only draw conceded at Union Berlin 2-2, the Bavarians have resumed their irresistible march forward as if nothing had happened against Freiburg 6-2, Sankt Pauli 3-1 and finally Stuttgart 0-5 last weekend. In the meantime, Harry Kane's partners also validated their ticket for the quarter-finals of the German Cup against Sankt Pauli 3-1 and they will be competing in the Champions League this week. Beaten by Arsenal the previous day 3-1, the Munich team bounced back, not without difficulty, against Sporting this week 3-1. If Bayern Munich crushes all the competition across the Rhine, we are far from being able to say the same about Mainz.

On the contrary, this team is currently experiencing a real crux this season in the Bundesliga where it brings up the rear with a very meager record of 6 points gleaned in 13 days. At the bottom of the hole, FSV has just suffered 3 defeats over the last 4 days played against Frankfurt 1-0, Hoffenheim 1-1, Friborg 4-0 and against Borussia Mönchengladbach 0-1. As a result, he finds himself relegated to 6 points from the first non-relegation place. This week, Mainz players will challenge Lech Poznan in a Conference League match. 

Unsurprisingly, playmaker Musiala will not be able to play this game. In addition to this, the formidable Colombian striker Luis Diaz (7 goals, 5 assists) will be suspended after receiving his 5th yellow card of the season. Otherwise, the other Munich executives will be present. Because this week, Alfonso Davies made his return after being absent for many months. We are thinking of the attackers Gnabry (4 goals, 3 assists) and Olise (6 goals, 8 assists in the league; 1 goal, 2 assists in C1) in particular. Of course, the excellent center forward Harry Kane (17 goals, 3 assists in the Bundesliga; 5 goals in C1) should also be favored by his coach, he who scored a hat-trick last week against Stuttgart.

Still absent last week, the important French full-back Caci risks having to forfeit once again. Unused defender Dal is also on the flank while starting goalkeeper Zentner is hoped for. A priori, the important Nebel and the defender Kohr will be suspended again as they were already last week against Gladbach. The Japanese Sano (1 goal and 2 assists in the Bundesliga) and the striker Sieb (2 goals in the Bundesliga) find themselves alone to try to liven up an offensive sector at half mast this season. The probable line-ups for Bayern Munich - Mainz:
