Mainz 05 vs Bayern Munich Prediction and Betting Tips

Publish date: 2024-05-20

Bayern Munich will be looking to go top of the German Bundesliga table when they visit the Mewa Arena to face Mainz 05 on Saturday.

Bo Svensson’s men are currently on a seven-game winless run and will head into the weekend looking to end this dry spell.

Mainz were left with a bitter taste of “what could have been” last time out as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Borussia Monchengladbach after giving up their lead in the 88th minute.

With that result, Svensson’s side still await their first victory of the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign, having picked up two draws and lost five of their seven games so far.

With just two points from a possible 21, Mainz are currently bottom but one in the league table, just one point above last-placed Koln.

In contrast, Bayern Munich continued their surge to the top of the table as they cruised to a 3-0 victory over Freiburg just before the international break.

Thomas Tuchel’s men are one of just three unbeaten sides in the Bundesliga this season, picking up five wins and two draws in their opening seven matches.

Bayern, who have now gone 10 straight matches without defeat across all competitions, sit second in the league table, two points behind first-placed Bayer Leverkusen.
