Mainz 05 vs Bayern Munich Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 25th April 2026

Mainz 05 welcome Bayern Munich on Saturday in the Bundesliga, with the host motivated by the possibility of closing the gap in the table on the visitors. On the other hand, the latter could distance themselves even further with a win in this exciting round 31 match.

Bayern Munich enjoy the view from the top of the table with 79 points after 30 league matches this season. Meanwhile, Mainz 05 find themselves positioned as number 10 in the Bundesliga with 34 points following 30 rounds.

Although Mainz 05 trail after Bayern Munich by double digits, beating the league leaders in the Bundesliga still holds a lot of prestige.

Mainz 05 go into their next Bundesliga match, scoring a humble average of 1.3 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 13 times, while conceding 12. That amounts to an average of 1.2 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring two times.

Bayern Munich average 3.5 goals per game, scoring 35 times, while conceding 11. That makes an average of 1.1 per game, with clean sheet in three as well in their previous ten matches.

Their latest encounter was a belter of a game, which finished with a 2-2 scoreline. An uncommon result, but we would not mind a similar goal fest this coming Saturday.
