With only the Bundesliga title to play for, Bayern must not mess up by dropping points for Leverkusen to catch up. Bayern may be under some form of pressure not to drop further points as Leverkusen are on their heels. With Leverkusen in second place and six points behind Bayern, the match is a must-win for the away side.
The form of Bayern Munich has not been consistent. Their form consists of moments of brilliance coupled with major defensive lapses, which sometimes result in the team dropping points. The attack of Bayern provides goals for the team especially when Harry Kane and Musiala remain potent, but their offensive threat is sometimes neutralised by defensive errors.
With 15 points remaining to be played for, Bayern need to win at least three games and draw one. Bayern will most likely start this game strong and hope to kill the game in the first 45 minutes.
Bayern Munich: Lineup
The Bavarians still has many injuries that will create a headache for the coach when selecting players for this game considering injury concerns and fatigue due to Bayern's involvement in the Champions League. With Musiala, Davies, Upamecano, and Neuer all unavailable due to injury, Vincent Kompany will be forced to name a different starting eleven which will involve reshuffling the defence and midfield.
It is really expected that Bayern will be tested considering Ulreich will be in the goalpost and Guerreiro playing at left-back. It won't be surprising if Thomas Muller is trusted to fill the hole left by Musiala; 's absence and be flanked by Kingsley Coman and Sane and Harry Kane leading the line. As Kimmich and Goretzka are key members of the midfield, it is expected they both start to provide anchor in the midfield.
🔖 Bayern Munich starting lineup (4-2-3-1)
Ulreich – Mazraoui, de Ligt, Dier, Guerreiro – Kimmich, Goretzka – Sané, Müller, Coman – Kane
⛔️ Out:Manuel Neuer, Upamecano Dayot, Ito Hiroki, Buchmann Tarek, Davies Alphonso, Musiala Jamal (all injured)
👤 Head coach: Vincent Kompany

Mainz: form and statistics
Although Mainz 05 has not been making the headlines in the Bundesliga this season, their home form is one of the team's biggest strengths and the envy of some clubs. With 11 wins from 24 games played and averaging 1.7 goals scored per home game, Mainz has shown fans and football enthusiasts that it is a tough opponent at the MEWA Arena. Also, the ability of Mainz to grind out results, especially in front of their fan, has been very important in avoiding relegation.
Mainz has shown that they are resilient by securing wins against strong teams like RB Leipzig and Borussia Mönchengladbach in recent away fixtures, although Mainz also lost to Hoffenheim and drew against Holstein Kiel. These inconsistent results is the reason why Mainz are middle of the table and not the upper half.
Mainz: Lineup
Main will likely stick to their famous 3-4-2-1 formation, which has helped the team get some valuable points, especially when playing at the Mewa Arena. Although Mainz has shown solid home form, the absence of Mwene, Nebel, and Leitsch could really affect the team, although Henriksen would make some tactical tweaks to account for the unavailability of these players.
Henriksen will turn to Brajan Gruda and Lee Jae-sung to provide support for Ajorque in attack, while Barreiro and Kohr will marshal the midfield and dictate the tempo of the game. In defence, the team has been very solid recently.
🔖 1. FSV Mainz 05 starting lineup (3-4-2-1)
Zentner – Hanche-Olsen, Bell, van den Berg – Widmer, Barreiro, Kohr, Caci – Gruda, Lee – Ajorque
⛔️ Out: Philipp Mwene (injured), Paul Nebel (injured), Maxim Leitsch (injured)
👤 Head coach: Bo Henriksen
