Bayern Munich vs Mainz prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-04-25 13:30.
[p]Losing just twice in the Bundesliga all season (W22, D6), Bayern Munich could secure the Meisterschale this weekend if they beat Mainz and Leverkusen slip up against Augsburg. Reclaiming the Bundesliga title seems inevitable either way, and boss Vincent Kompany will be keen to right the wrongs of his first Bundesliga loss as a manager in the reverse fixture by securing what would be an eighth straight home league H2H victory.[/p]
[p]It’s the convincing nature of the seven prior which has been the most eye-catching thing about those wins, with Bayern netting an incredible 37 goals, although they did only keep two clean sheets. That includes an incredible 8-1 victory in this fixture last season, but after conceding at least twice in each of their last four competitive outings here, while also squandering two leads (W1, D1, L2), Bayern must guard against complacency.[/p]
[p]Looking to add to those home woes with a first-ever winning league double over Bayern, Mainz enter this round within touching distance of the Champions League places. Anything short of victory could see Mainz lose control of their own European destiny, and that’s a distinct possibility as the 05ers make the trip east on the back of their longest winless run of league games under Bo Henriksen (D3, L2). [/p]
[p]Travelling as huge outsiders here likely won’t deter Mainz, who have been plucky underdogs all season and boast a Bundesliga-best seven victories as the betting outsiders (D2, L6). That’s not to mention the fact that Mainz hold a respectable record in the league against top-five opponents this season (W3, D2, L2), with just one of those defeats coming away from home (W2, D1, L1). [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Bayern’s Thomas Müller is set to make a record-extending 500th Bundesliga appearance here versus a side he has made 17 goal contributions against in 29 league meetings (G7, A10). Following his goal last weekend, Jae-sung Lee has scored the team opener in five of his six scoring Mainz appearances this season, while he also scored either side of half-time in the reverse fixture.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Including 2024/25, Mainz are the only team to defeat Bayern in four of the last five Bundesliga seasons. [/p]
