"Bayern Munich has enjoyed a terrific Hinrunde so far, remaining unbeaten in the Bundesliga. They have dropped points only once after 13 matchdays in the league. Bayern have looked especially dominant at Allianz Arena. Vincent Kompany's men will look to round off their good home form in 2025 with a win against Mainz on Sunday. The Bavarian club struggled a bit during November, but they managed to grind out wins."
"Meanwhile, Mainz have endured a very difficult Hinrunde. They currently sit at the bottom of the points table, having won just one of their 13 league games this season. It will take a herculean effort from Mainz on Sunday to get a positive result at Allianz Arena. Bayern welcomed Alphonso Davies back in the matchday squad against the Champions League clash against Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday."
"Davies will be in the squad against Mainz and likely get minutes from the bench. Luis Diaz has been given extra rest this week after starting all but two games this season. The Colombian will be rested against Mainz. Jamal Musiala is expected to start training with the team before the winter break, but his return to the matchday squad is expected to happen in January."
Bayern Munich remain unbeaten after 13 Bundesliga matchdays, dropping points only once and showing particular strength at the Allianz Arena. The team struggled in November but secured wins through squad resilience and Vincent Kompany's management. A victory over Mainz would ensure Bayern stay top of the table heading into the winter break. Mainz occupy the bottom spot with just one win from 13 league games and face a steep task to claim points at Allianz Arena. Alphonso Davies has returned to the matchday squad and may appear from the bench, Luis Diaz will be rested, and Jamal Musiala is expected back in January. Manuel Neuer is likely to start in goal against Mainz.
