Odds correct at time of publishing
As FSV Mainz 05 prepares to host Bayern Munich, there's a compelling case for backing Mainz on the alternate handicap. Despite being the underdog, Mainz has shown resilience, boasting a recent home record that hints at potential upset. Their xG numbers suggest they can create chances, and while Bayern may have the attacking prowess, they've occasionally faltered defensively. In their last five outings, Bayern's conceded an average of 1.2 goals, which raises questions about their backline, especially against a Mainz side that's been hungry for points. Mainz, with a solid home crowd behind them, can capitalize on any lapses from their formidable opponents.
