Bayern Munich vs FSV Mainz 05 Predictions

Bayern can run riot again against struggling Mainz

Bayern Munich have scored three or more goals in three successive Bundesliga games, and there is the potential for another goalfest at the Allianz Arena on Sunday when Mainz visit. Back over 3.5 goals.

Bayern Munich are top of the league, having won 12 and drawn one of their 13 games this season, while Mainz are bottom with just one win so far.

Bayern Munich have won their last nine home games in the league, while Mainz are struggling, with seven reverses in their last nine games.

Bayern Munich were 5-0 winners against Stuttgart in their last Bundesliga game, keeping up their run of matches with four goals or more. They restricted the hosts to one shot on target, and the win makes it 11 wins in the 12 matches in which Bayern have been odds-on this season.

The visitors have looked vulnerable in defence. Only four teams have conceded more goals in the Bundesliga this season than Mainz’s total of 24, and they have been unable to keep their opponents at bay in 24 straight league games.

No Bundesliga team has played more games with four or more goals this season than Bayern Munich, and there have been four goals or more in five of their seven home games. Over 3.5 goals has also been a winning bet in three of Mainz’s six away matches.

Bayern Munich won 3-0 last time these two met in the Bundesliga and have won four of the last six meetings with Mainz by at least two goals. However, five of the previous six encounters had over 3.5 goals, so a 3-1 home win is an appealing correct-score bet.
