1. FSV Mainz 05 vs Bayern Munich Match Preview

Mainz will play against Bayern Munich at MEWA Arena in this German DFB Pokal football match.

Mainz got an important win in Bundesliga in their last game against Bochum, one of the worst teams in the league. Before that match, they had 5 games without a win with 4 losses and only one draw, against Stuttgart. Currently, they are in 11th place with 23 points so they will probably avoid relegation but they are not playing that well recently. Last season they played really well, even won against Bayern Munich. They are usually playing well against Bayern but currently, their form is far from last season's and it will be hard for them in this match against Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich started the second part of the season not so well. They played three times and in all these matches got only a point. Their attack was poor as they scored one goal in each of these matches. That means that they will enter into this match with full strength and that they will try to win. I believe they will have a few changes and I expect all their main players to play in this match being motivated to get their first win after the start of the second part of the season.

Mainz is going to play at home but Bayern Munich is levels above them in terms of quality. Bayern Munich is in a mini-crisis so they will try to get a win and build their momentum in the next few matches so they can be ready for UEFA Champions League knockout match in February.
