Mainz vs Bayern Munich Pokal prediction

Mainz will be looking to shake off a string of inconsistent performances in the domestic scene when they shift their focus to the DFB Pokal with a tough outing against Bavarian giants Bayern Munich this week. Mainz failed to pick up what would have been their first home win of this season when they were held to a 1-1 stalemate by Monchengladbach at the weekend despite dominating the match for long stretches. Bo Henriksen’s men have their work cut out here but they will be determined to upset the bookies 

After a stinging defeat to Barcelona in midweek, all attention was on Bayern Munich and they duly responded with a 5-0 thrashing away at basement club Bochum at the weekend to move back to the top of the standings. The cake was shared evenly with first-half goals from Olise and Musiala and second-half contributions from top scorer Kane, Sane and Coman completing the rout. They now shift gears to the cup which they lost to the all-conquering Leverkusen side as they seek to once again stamp their authority on the domestic front

This is going to be an interesting match but we expect it to pretty much go one way here. Bayern have been on an absolute tear this season and we are picking them to win with ease here as we expect Vincent Kompany to field a relatively strong squad here. We are therefore picking Bayern to win with a margin of at least 2 goals as our main Mainz vs Bayern Munich prediction for this match

Statistics for Mainz vs Bayern Munich Prediction

Team News Mainz

• Injuries: Mainz will be without centre-back Dominik Kohr and striker Nelson Weiper until mid-November, while defender Andreas Hanche-Olsen is not scheduled to return until late November
• Doubtful: Austrian Wing-back Nikolas Veratschnig missed the weekend match against Monchengladbach and is in a fitness race for this clash
• Tweaking the attack: Kaishu Sano and Nadiem Amiri may start as a double pivot behind attackers Armindo Sieb, Jae-sung Lee and Jonathan Burkardt.

Team News Bayern Munich

• Injuries: Kompany will still be missing the services of Aleksandar Pavlovic (collar bone) and Sacha Boey (knee) until December, while Hiroki Ito and Josip Stanisic (knee) are not likely to feature until the middle of November
• Strong Lineup: To avoid any slip-ups, Kompany is expected to field his best players here. Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-jae are almost certain to start in the heart of defence, and Joshua Kimmich may be joined in midfield by Joao Palhinha.
• On Fire: Harry Kane and Michael Olise were both on the scoresheet against Bochum at the weekend and are expected to continue their impressive starts to the season here. Both should start
