JAKARTA - In the Bundesliga match, Bayern Munich is preparing to face the challenge from Mainz at the MEWA Arena Stadium, Mainz, on Saturday, October 21. Bayern München, who is in third place in the standings having scored 17 goals and conceded only 6 goals in seven matches, will try to extend their winning streak this season.

Meanwhile, Mainz, who are in 17th position in the standings, have endured a difficult start to the season with just 6 goals scored and 19 goals conceded. Very contrasting records between the two. However, they will try to cause a surprise in front of their loyal supporters and trouble Bayern München.

Bayern München, with a solid performance so far, hopes to maintain their stellar form and continue their winning trend. However, Mainz will try hard to turn things around and get an important win to improve their position in the standings.

While both teams have strong determination, this match is predicted to be an exciting battle on the field, with Bayern München trying to maintain their dominance and Mainz hoping to get a positive result in front of their own supporters.

Mainz are also set to meet their former manager, Thomas Tuchel, who needs a win as the Bundesliga threatens to offer a serious title challenge. Both Bayer Leverkusen and Stuttgart are ahead of Bayern entering Matchday 8.

Bayern come with a full squad and striker Harry Kane is in top form, the trip to the MEWA Arena is expected to go smoothly. The two league games between the two teams last season have seen 12 goals and one win for each club, although there is currently no expectation of a repeat of Mainz's 3-1 victory in April.

Kane himself has scored eight league goals this season, more than the entire Mainz squad which has only scored six goals. Seeing the visiting team's style of play in one third of the field, it is predicted that Munich can achieve an easy and comprehensive victory.

In this match, Mainz was forced to suspend El Ghazi internally because of his social media activity showing support for Palestine. This puts him in the spotlight  and he will not feature against the German champion.

Forward Jonathan Burkardt, defender Andreas Hanche-Olsen and youngster Nelson Weiper are all out through injury, leaving Mainz missing a significant number of players as they try to turn things around.

For the visitors, Manuel Neuer is out for most of the 2022/23 season after breaking his leg while skiing, but the German international has appeared to speed up his recovery and reports in Germany have suggested he could make his long-awaited return, depending on Tuchel's policy on Saturday. Later.

But Tuchel will be unable to field defender Tarek Buchmann at the weekend, along with Raphael Guerreiro and Dayot Upamecano. There are also doubts about striker Serge Gnabry being fit.

Bayern also have a tricky situation regarding their social media after Noussair Mazraoui showed his public support for Palestine. He has spoken to the club and did not train on Thursday, October 19, so his participation this weekend seems unlikely.

Mainz (3-4-2-1): Zentner; Van den Berg, Bell, Fernandes; Da Costa, Barreiro, Kohr, Caci; Gruda, Lee; Ajorque.

Bayern Munich (4-2-3-1): Ulreich; Laimer, De Ligt, Kim, Davies; Kimmich, Goretzka; Sane, Musiala, Coman; Kane.
