Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Bayern Munich will look to retain top position when they take on Mainz at Mewa Arena. The Bavarians dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Hoffenheim at the weekend, and, no doubt, they are eager to return to winning ways in the national championship on Matchday 29. Both Lucas Hernandez and Manuel Neuer remain in the recovery room, while Sadio Mane should play some part following his suspension against Hoffenheim.
Die Nullfunfer, on the other hand, aim to climb to the Conference League berth, but they will have a big fish to fry against Bayern Munich. When the two teams met in the German Cup at Mewa Arena earlier in 2023 the Bavarians crushed die Nullfunfer 4-0, which is probably the main reason why away win should be considered. Jonathan Burkardt remains on the sidelines with a knee injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
