It's still early in the Bundesliga season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Bayern München - Mainz 05 preview!

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Bayern München form and stats

A Bundesliga draw at home so far for Bayern München. Last season their home statistics were 13 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat from 17 matches.

Happy days for Bayern München in their previous game, a Bundesliga match away at Schalke 04 that ended with a 3-0 victory. The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Hertha BSC.

Bayern München are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Allianz Arena with maximum points. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. 18 earlier games are comparable to this one, and Bayern München has won 13 times, drawn 4 and lost 1. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that Bayern München has won by at least two goals 10 times when in this position.

Bayern München has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Mainz 05 form and stats

Mainz 05 have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Bundesliga were 4 victories, 2 draws and 11 defeats from 17 fixtures. It's a growing despair in Mainz 05 as they have recorded three consecutive losses. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Mainz 05 are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

The manager S. Schwarz was unhappy after their last game, a Bundesliga match played at their home ground Allianz Arena. Mainz 05 suffered a 1-3 loss to Borussia M'gladbach. Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Freiburg's place.

Mainz 05 are huge outsiders in this game. Running a check in our games database we found three matches where they were as big outsiders as an away team. Results were 0 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. Of the defeats, 2 games were lost by at least two goals margin.

0 goals so far away for Mainz 05, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 1 league match away.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Bayern München won 8, Mainz 05 won 1 and 1 draw. 8 games with over 2,5 goals, 2 matches with two goals or less.
