Preview
Bayern top the table and are unbeaten in 15 competitive games this season, and they won 2-0 at Atlético Madrid on Tuesday with Neuer and Olise back in the side. Mainz come in reeling after three defeats in six days, the last a 4-1 loss at Elversberg in which Stefan Posch was sent off. Fischer was furious with how his team gave up those goals. Bayern are not at full strength. Saibari and Gnabry were both lost against Dortmund, Musiala and Díaz remain out, and assistant Aaron Danks is still in charge while Kompany recovers. This is also their third game in eight days. That keeps us below the market. Mainz do get Robin Zentner back in goal, and they have troubled Bayern at home recently: they beat them 2-1 in December 2024 and lost only 4-3 in April. All five recent meetings went over 2.5, with 21 goals. We rate the away win at 70.4%.
Mainz are in a slump and Bayern are unbeaten, even with a thin squad. We rate the away win at 70.4%.
