Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Buoyed by a 3-2 win over Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich will look to cement top position in the standings when they host Mainz to their Allianz Arena on Matchday 15. The title holders are four points clear of Borussia in the standings, and, no doubt, they want to get their job done in the national championship as soon as possible. Robert Lewandowski, who scored a brace in the Bundesliga derby, will be the man to watch in the home team, while Marcel Sabitzer, Bouna Sarr, and Josip Stanisic remain in the recovery room.
Both Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Joshua Kimmich have recovered from coronavirus. Die Nullfunfer, on the other hand, outplayed Wolfsburg 3-0 on home soil at the weekend, but given their four-game losing run at Allianz Arena, we are tempted to put our money on Julian Nagelsmann’s troops. All Dominik Kohr, Anderson Lucoqui, and Jerry St. Juste are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Robert Lewandowski):
After scoring 36 goals in 59 league games for Znicz Pruskow, Robert Lewandowski joined Lech Poznan in June, 2008. The 184-cm-tall attacker scored 18 goals in 28 appearances for the club in the 2009/2010 Ekstraklasa campaign and during the season he was on Borussia Dortmund’s radar.
The Polish forward signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga side in June, 2010 and he quickly established himself as the team’s key attacker. Lewandowski was producing excellent performances with the Millionaires between 2010 and 2014 and it has to be noted that he won two Bundesliga trophies with the club (2010/2011, 2011/2012). He participated in the 2012/2013 Champions League final with Borussia Dortmund, but the Millionaires were beaten by fellow Bundesliga side Bayern Munich in the title game.
However, he betrayed Borussia Dortmund fans in 2014 as he signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga giants. Lewandowski impressed in the 2016/2017 Bundesliga campaign as he scored 30 goals in 32 league games for Pep Guardiola’s troops. The Polish footballer represented his homeland at Euro 2016 in France and he scored one goal at the showpiece tournament in France.
