Bayern Munich vs. Mainz 05 - prediction, LIVE streaming , lineups

Bayern Munich is set to face Mainz 05 at the Allianz Arena on Saturday, a match that holds significant implications for the Bundesliga title race. A victory for Bayern, combined with a loss from Bayer Leverkusen against Augsburg, would secure them the championship . However, Bayern's recent form has been inconsistent, boasting only one win in their last four matches alongside two draws and one loss. Conversely, Mainz is currently positioned sixth but enters this match without a win in their last five games and has conceded ten goals during this period .

The team is not far from Bayern’s strongest team, as three points on Saturday makes it difficult for Leverkusen to cover ground. Jonas Urbig starts in goal, while Joshua Kimmich, Eric Dier, Josip Stanišić, and Raphaël Guerreiro round out the backline. Konrad Laimer and Aleksandar Pavlović sit in the pivot, while Michael Olise, Thomas Müller, and Kingsley Coman provide support for Harry Kane.

Mainz arrive in München desperate to keep pace in the race for Europe. Currently sixth with 47 points, they are two behind fourth-placed Leipzig and only two ahead of both Borussia Dortmund and Werder Bremen.
