Information and prediction for Bayern Munich vs Mainz
With the possibility of taking the lead in the German Championship, albeit temporarily, Bayern Munich welcomes Mainz this Saturday, October 29. The match, which will feature the Allianz Arena in Munich, is part of the agenda for the twelfth round of the 2022/2023 version of the Bundesliga. The start is scheduled for 10:30.
Bayern Munich’s recent performance
Bayern Munich had a ‘luxury friendly’ on their agenda on Wednesday 26 October. They faced Barcelona in a duel for the fifth – penultimate – round of the Champions League group stage. Both teams, however, stepped onto the Camp Nou lawn with their defined situations. The Bavarians, who had secured their qualification for the round of 16 with two games to spare, scored 3-0 on the Catalonia team, which was ‘relegated’ to the Europa League.
Having stayed with the ball for 48% of the time, Bayern Munich developed 13 shooting opportunities. Sent seven of them on target. He scored in the tenth minute with Mané and in the 31st minute through Choupo-Mouting, still in the initial stage. Both had assists from Gnabry. In the finals, Gnabry completed his hat-trick of assists by serving Pavard, who scored in the 50th minute. Defensively, the Bavarian team had no major problems. Although Barcelona created ten chances to finish, none of the shots reached their goal. Seven were blocked and three had the wrong direction.
In the German Championship, Bayern Munich beat Hoffenheim, 2-0, away from home, in the previous round. It thus reached 22 points (six wins, four draws and one defeat). He kept the second place and reduced to just one point his disadvantage in relation to the leaders Union Berlin, who were defeated by Bochum by 2 to 1. A win or even a draw this Saturday could put him at the top of the leaderboard, when less temporarily, since the capital club will only have its matchday commitment on Sunday, October 30, at home, against Borussia Monchengladbach. As home team, Bayern Munich has the fifth best campaign in the Bundesliga. Of the 15 points he played at the Allianz Arena, he won 11 (three wins and two draws). He scored 14 goals and conceded three.
The current form of Mainz
Mainz obtained their most significant result of the season in the previous round of the Bundesliga. With the possibility of playing at Mewa Arena, he won 5-0 over Colônia. It was his third consecutive victory. Two of them for the Bundesliga. The other, 3-0, over Lubeck, was worth the German Cup and guaranteed him a place in the round of 16 of the tournament, in which he will face Bayern Munich.
Against Cologne, 11 minutes were enough for Mainz to open the scoring. He did this through the penalty taken by Ingvartsen. The scenario was even more favorable with the expulsion of Kilian, who left the visitors with one player less since the 28th minute. He knew how to take advantage of the situation scoring in the 35th minute, through Kohr, and in the 40th minute, with Stach. In the finals, Martin, in the 28th minute, and Onisiwo, in the 38th minute, completed the service.
In this way, Mainz advanced to 18 points (five wins, three draws and three defeats) taking the sixth position in the Bundesliga table. Last post in the region that grants vacancies for participation in international competitions next season. One point above Hoffenheim, seventh place and first team outside the elite squad. As a visitor, Mainz presents the best campaign in the Bundesliga. Of the 18 points he played outside of his domains, he won 12 (four victories and two defeats). He scored nine goals and conceded eight.
