Matchday 31 of the German Bundesliga brings us a clash between Mainz and Bayern Munich, set for Saturday, April 25, with kick-off at 15:30 CET. I’m offering a bet on this fixture.

Mainz vs Bayern Munich: Match preview
Mainz currently sit in mid-table in the Bundesliga and have not yet fully secured their top-flight status. The O-Fives have 34 points after 30 matches and hold an eight-point cushion over the relegation zone. With four rounds still to play, that gap is not entirely safe. Mainz are without a win in three straight matches, so they need to turn things around quickly if they want to guarantee survival and start adding points again.
Bayern Munich are now playing out the remainder of their Bundesliga campaign after already clinching the title. The team have wrapped up a record 35th league crown with 79 points from 30 matches. Bayern own the league’s best attack with 109 goals and the strongest defence with just 29 conceded. I expect a rotated side for this game, with a UEFA Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain on the horizon. A few days ago, they also defeated Bayer Leverkusen in the German Cup to reach the final.
Probable line-ups
- Mainz: Batz; Da Costa, Posch, Kohr; Caci, Nebel, Sano, Amiri, Mwene; Becker, Tietz
- Bayern Munich: Urbig; Stanisic, Kim, Ito, Davies; Kimmich, Goretzka; Guerreiro, Musiala, Diaz; Jackson
Prediction
I still expect Bayern to keep winning despite already being crowned champions. Their squad depth is outstanding, and even a rotated line-up should have enough quality to take all three points.
