Mainz 05 vs Bayern Munich 22.04.2023 Prediction: Bundesliga

Match Overview

A rather one-sided encounter is on our hands when Bayern Munich travel to take on Mainz at the MEWA Arena on Saturday. Out of the 27 games played between the two teams in the past, Bayern Munich have been undefeated in 25. Mainz have only won two matches played between these two teams. The last time they did that was almost a year ago, in April 2022, when they defeated the Bavarian giants by a 3-1 scoreline.  

Key Highlights

Straight on the back of their disappointing exit from the UEFA Champions League in the quarterfinal stage to Manchester City, Bayern will be hoping to release some of their anguish on a hapless Mainz side, which is ranked eighth in the Bundesliga table at the moment. Having been unbeaten in the last 9 matches that they have played, and five at home, Mainz will prove to be a tough challenge for Bayern, who will hope to maintain their position at the top of the league table.

Injury Report

Stefan Bell and Jonathan Burkardt have been ruled out for Mainz while the likes of Manuel Neuer and Lucas Hernandez will not be available for selection for Bayern Munich. Benjamin Pavard, on the other hand, has been suspended and therefore not available.

Prediction

Bayern's manager Thomas Tuchel has to prove a lot of detractors wrong in Munich, and the pressure will rise on him especially after his side got knocked out of the Champions League. Winning the league and sustaining this lead at the top of the table will surely help matters for him. We expect Bayern Munich to win this game quite comfortably.
