Mainz 05 vs Bayern Munich Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 7th November 2026

When Bayern Munich come to MEWA Arena for the Bundesliga match on Saturday, Mainz 05 will be hoping to use their home advantage to their advantage.

Bayern Munich enjoy the view from the top of the table with 18 points after eight league matches this season. Meanwhile, Mainz 05 find themselves positioned as number 9 in the Bundesliga with ten points following eight rounds.

Mainz 05 are looking for a payback after suffering a disappointing defeat in their latest encounter with Bayern Munich but odds don't favour them to pull it off.

Mainz 05 are confident they will be scoring goals in their next assignment in the Bundesliga, as they show off very admirable numbers from their past ten matches. The hosts scored two goals on average per match, or 20 goals in total, while allowing 20 goals against, for an average of two per outing. They managed four clean sheets along the way.

Bayern Munich average 3.3 goals per game, scoring 33 times, while conceding nine. That makes an average of 0.9 per game, with clean sheet in three as well in their previous ten matches.

The latest encounter between these two teams was a belter of a 3-4 match. Are we in for a similar goal-fest on Saturday?

Mainz 05 vs Bayern Munich Prediction

Mainz 05 Form

Mainz 05 have had to endure a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 2-3 by Werder Bremen, before Bochum ran out 2-0 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Elversberg, who came out 4-1 winners. Mainz 05 did not win any of their last six Bundesliga matches at the MEWA Arena. They came through these matches with a record of one draws and five defeats, in which they conceded 17 and scored ten goals.

Mainz 05 have already squandered enough points to put themselves under pressure, if they are to challenge for the title seriously in the Bundesliga this season.

Bayern Munich look in good shape before their upcoming match as they seek to remain unbeaten. In their last three matches, they first beat Magdeburg by 6-1, before drawing 2-2 with Borussia Dortmund. They were back as winners last time out, when they took out Atletico Madrid by a 0-2 scoreline. Bayern Munich performed a very admirable four wins in six Bundesliga away matches, as well as two draws but no defeats. They scored 12 times, while also conceding seven goals.

With Bayern Munich looking strong, we expect them to get the better of Mainz 05, and with goals flowing freely, the hosts could be in for a hammering.

Mainz 05 have taken zero points from their last four games against teams from the top half of the Bundesliga table. They won zero of these matches with a scoreline of seven goals to 14. Bayern Munich won three games, picked up ten points, scored 13 and conceded five goals in their last four games against teams from the top half of the Bundesliga table.
