The visitors are the only unbeaten team in the division.

Mainz will welcome record Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich to their backyard in their 14th league game of the season. The carnival club are in search of consistency having failed to maintain a stable run of form this season. They are good in attack but are equally fragile at the back.

That has made things very complicated for them. However, they will take motivation from the fact that they are unbeaten against the visitors in all of their last three home games.

Bayern Munich on the other hand will be keen to maintain their run of no error this season. With 33 points from 13 games, Bayern are off to their best-ever league start since the 2015-16 season and will want to make no mistakes. The Bavarians have scored 41 goals, the highest in the German top flight this season. They possess a healthy record on the road with five wins and two draws in seven away games.

Venue: MEWA ARENA

Mainz (in all competitions): L-W-W-W-D

Players to watch 

Jonathan Burkardt (Mainz)

Mainz will look up to their man in form Jonathan Burkardt to take care of the offensive affairs up front. The German forward is enjoying a great run of form and is currently the leading scorer for Mainz with 10 strikes to his name in the Bundesliga. The 24-year-old forward has scored five goals in his last four games and possesses an impressive scoring frequency of 104 minutes. His speed coupled with his technical abilities and versatility in attack comes in as an added advantage for his side.

Jamal Musiala (Bayern Munich)

Jamal Musiala has stepped up to the occasion really well in the absence of Harry Kane and has shouldered the goal-scoring abilities really well. The German wonderkid is known for his vision, precision and creative prowess. Musiala’s ability to create goal-scoring chances and dribble past defenders from the tightest of spaces makes him an exceptional player.

He has notched up 17 goal contributions this season in the form of 13 goals and four assists across all competitions. This includes three goals and an assist in his last two games.
