------------------------------
Bayern Munich
Vincent Kompany has no new injury concerns hampering his preparations ahead of his side’s latest fixture. The Bayern Munich manager will be bereft of the services of as many as half a dozen first-team players vs FSV Mainz 05 on Saturday.
Jamal Musiala and Dayot Upamecano are the most notable absentees as they face a race against time to return before the 2024/25 season ends. The duo accompanies Manuel Neuer, Hiroki Ito, Alphonso Davies, and Leon Goretzka on the sidelines.
Jonas Urbig will continue to deputise for Manuel Neuer between the sticks, with Bayern Munich lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in front of him vs Mainz on Saturday. The backline should feature Konrad Laimer, Eric Dier, Josip Stanisic, and Raphael Guerreiro.
As for the midfield unit, there is no looking past Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlovic in the double pivot. Thomas Muller will reprise the no. 10 role, with Leroy Sane and Michael Olise being the two wide attackers. Finally, Harry Kane will lead the line for Bayern Munich against Mainz on Saturday.
FSV Mainz 05
Unlike his counterpart in the Bayern Munich dugout, Bo Henriksen barely has any issues to worry about ahead of the trip to the Allianz Arena. The FSV Mainz 05 manager might be without four first-team players on Saturday.
In addition, Henriksen will greet the return of Paul Nebel after serving his suspension. The Mainz manager has been sweating over the fitness of Ludovic Ajorque and Stefan Bell, although the duo should be available. However, Maxim Leitsch and Moritz Jenz remain on the sidelines.
Robin Zentner is the automatic pick between the sticks, with FSV Mainz 05 lining up in a 3-4-2-1 formation in front of him vs Bayern Munich on Saturday. The central defensive unit should feature Danny Da Costa, Stefan Bell, and Dominik Kohr.
Anthony Caci and Phillipp Mwene will likely start as the wing-backs, with Nadiem Amiri and Kaishu Sano pairing up in the middle of the park. Finally, Jonathan Burkardt will spearhead the FSV Mainz 05 attack against Bayern Munich, with Paul Nebel and Lee Jae-sung providing creative support.
Bayern Munich possible starting lineup:
Urbig; Laimer, Dier, Stanisic, Guerreiro; Kimmich, Pavlovic; Olise, Muller, Sane; Kane
Mainz 05 possible starting lineup:
Zentner; Da Costa, Bell, Kohr; Caci, Sano, Amiri, Mwene; Nebel, Lee; Burkardt
Bayern Munich vs Mainz Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
The two teams have squared off 41 times across competitions, with Bayern leading 30-8.
The league leaders have the best goalscoring record in the Bundesliga this season, scoring 87 goals, 39 more than Mainz.
The two teams last met in the reverse fixture in December, with Mainz winning 2-1 at home.
Bayern have won one of their last four home games across competitions, conceding nine goals.
Their last 15 meetings have produced over 2.5 goals.
Mainz have won five of their last 11 away games, losing six.
Prediction: Bayern Munich 3-2 Mainz 05
Bayern Munich could prove to be defensively frail on Saturday considering their backline is depleted. While other opponents would likely be able to take advantage of the Bavarians' weaknesses, Mainz's form coming into the clash is poor, and the hosts may therefore move one step closer to securing the title.
