REF’s picks

Bayern Munich head into this fixture with superior form and squad depth, making them a solid choice to take all three points against a struggling Mainz side. Although the visitors are missing a few players through injuries and potential rotation, their attacking quality should comfortably overcome a leaky Mainz defence.

1. 1Mainz are winless at home in the Bundesliga this season and have suffered heavy defeats recently.
2. 2Bayern boast a strong recent record and lead the league table with an impressive goal tally.
3. 3Key suspensions for Mainz, including defenders Posch and Mwene, severely weaken their backline against elite opponents.
