Bo Svensson, the manager of Mainz, is having a respectable season with the team. Their mid-table position after halfway through the season suggests a positive outcome. Mainz recently achieved a dominant 5-2 victory over Bochum, with a hat-trick from Karim Onisiwo and goals from Lee Jae-sung and Silvan Widmer. They showed clinical finishing in the game. With support from the home crowd, Mainz have the potential to challenge Bayern Munich, especially since the league champions are currently in poor form. Bayern Munich's 10 straight victories before the national team break are a thing of the past, as the team has struggled lately due to key player absences on the field. Julian Nagelsmann is facing numerous challenges before this tough meeting. The team is struggling to finish chances effectively, resulting in a string of 1-1 draws in the last three matches against RB Leipzig, Koln, and Eintracht Frankfurt. This has caused Bayern Munich to lose their lead in the Bundesliga table, now trailing Union Berlin by just one point. Meanwhile, other teams like RB Leipzig, Dortmund, and Freiburg are also performing well. The next league round will feature an away match against 7th placed Wolfsburg, which is expected to be a difficult challenge for the team. However, Mainz has found their goal-scoring form, making Mainz +1.5 a good bet given Bayern's current performance.
