What is the story about?

Bayern Munich got the job done in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid, winning 2-0 and claiming a first ever win away to Los Colchoneros. The Bavarians travel northwest to Mainz, currently in a bit of a rut.

The carnival team has endured a mixed bag of results in the league which leaves them in ninth place. They’ve won only two of their last five league games which isn’t exactly confidence inspiring when you’re welcoming the Rekordmeister. Bayern must be wary, however, because this can be considered

one of those “trap games” where winning is sometimes easier said than done.

Prediction

Bayern wins 3-0. Bayern will capitalize on Mainz’s poor form and get a comfortable win. Kane will score one, Upamecano heads one in from a corner, and Bischof fires one top bins before near the end of the match.

It’s Bayern time.
