In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Hertha BSC, by (0-0). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Borussia M’gladbach, by (4-0).

This is a team that scores only few times and was only able to open the scoring in 2 of its last 8 matches for the Bundesliga, of these 2 reached the halftime advantage in 1 and won at the end of the 90 ‘in 1. In 8 matches in this competition, only got 1 comeback in the 4 games in which he suffered the first goal.
The Mainz is a club that never managed to conquer the Bundesliga (German Championship), having as the highlight of its history the second place in the 2.Liga (second national division), in the 2008/09 season. In the current season, the team has been doing an irregular campaign in the national championship, conquering only eight of the 24 points played so far, thus being in the intermediate part of the table, quite close to the relegation zone. In the last seven games that Mainz played in their stadium, for the national competition, four of them scored more than 1.5 goals. We believe that in this match the Mainz will make a game more offensive and that it will have many difficulties to sustain the attack of the opponent.
Bayern München:
After 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, the away team is currently in the 4 th position, with 16 points won. In the last match, they have won in an away match against Wolfsburg by (1-3), after in the previous match they have lost at home, in a match against Borussia M’gladbach, by (0-3). This is a team that, oddly enough, was better outside than at home, as in the last 30 matches they register 12 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in away matches; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. The team comes to this match after a away win with AEK Athens by (0-2). For the league, Bayern München won 9 points out of 12 possible points, after 3 wins and 1 loss in the last 4 home matches.

In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 27 of the last 30 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals.
Bayern Munich is one of the biggest clubs in Germany, which has already won the Bundesliga (German championship) twenty-eight times, in addition to eighteen CFB Pokal titles, five Champions League titles and one European League title . In the current season, the team has been doing a somewhat irregular campaign in the national championship, winning 16 of the 24 points played so far, thus being in the fourth position, a place too modest for a club of this dimension. In the last five games that Bayern Munich played as a visitor, for several competitions, in four of them the team scored more than 1.5 goals. We believe that in this match Bayern Munich will again score several goals and will make another offensive game.
