[Bundesliga] Bayern defeated Mainz in both of their encounters last season – 3-1 away and 8-1 at home.
In the previous round, Mainz suffered a painful 3-4 away defeat to Wolfsburg, ending their five-match unbeaten streak (three wins and two draws). Despite this, the team remains relatively close to the European spots, sitting in 9th place in the Bundesliga standings.
Their deficit to the 6th place, which qualifies for European competitions, is just two points. However, it's important to note that Mainz struggles at home, having failed to win five out of their last seven matches at home (two draws and three losses).
Bayern Munich, under the guidance of Vincent Kompany, secured a confident 4-2 home win against Heidenheim in their last Bundesliga match, extending their unbeaten streak to 13 matches (10 wins and three draws). As a result, Bayern stays top of the table, six points ahead of second-place Eintracht Frankfurt.
Bayern's goal difference is particularly impressive, standing at 41:10, the best in the Bundesliga. The team has also been unbeaten in their last seven away Bundesliga games (five wins and two draws). Bayern recently triumphed 5-1 away to Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League, after initially conceding the opening goal.
