14′ — TOR! Danny Da Costa misses Lee Jae-sung’s backwards pass outside their box, which allowed Harry Kane to lay off to Joshua Kimmich who fired into the top corner. Bayern leads 1-0!

12′ — Michael Olise just misses out on a forward ball from outside the box.

9′ — Bayern wins a corner and it falls to Lennart Karl, who does his best to keep away from the Mainz defenders but his shot is not enough to beat Robin Zentner.

7′ — Bayern evade the Mainz press but Nathaniel Brown misses the pass into the box.

3′ — Bayern on the back foot in the opening stretch of the match.

Kickoff! — LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Lineups are out! Bayern fields a strong starting XI to take on Mainz. Aleksandar Pavlović marks his return to the starting XI, relegating Tom Bischof to the bench. Nathaniel Brown starts today, presumably on the left wing, while Alphonso Davies starts as a substitute.

Bayern subs:

Bayern Munich got the job done in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid, winning 2-0 and claiming a first ever win away to Los Colchoneros. The Bavarians travel northwest to Mainz, currently in a bit of a rut.

The carnival team has endured a mixed bag of results in the league which leaves them in ninth place. They’ve won only two of their last five league games which isn’t exactly confidence inspiring when you’re welcoming the Rekordmeister. Bayern must be wary, however, because this can be considered one of those “trap games” where winning is sometimes easier said than done.

Prediction

Bayern wins 3-0. Bayern will capitalize on Mainz’s poor form and get a comfortable win. Kane will score one, Upamecano heads one in from a corner, and Bischof fires one top bins before near the end of the match.

It’s Bayern time.
