Mainz doesn’t hold grand ambitions this season, as their squad depth and financial resources only allow for aiming at a mid-table finish. For the “Carnival Club,” the main priority is avoiding relegation from the Bundesliga.
After eight Bundesliga rounds, Mainz has earned 9 points and sits in 13th place, currently just 4 points above the relegation zone. Last Friday, Mainz drew 1-1 at home against Borussia Mönchengladbach, following a 0-2 loss to RB Leipzig and a commanding 3-0 win over St. Pauli.
Last season, Bayern finished without any trophies, and they exited the DFB-Pokal at the Round of 16 stage after a surprising defeat to Saarbrücken (1-2). This season, the Munich side aims to reclaim this trophy.
In the Bundesliga, Bayern is performing excellently. They achieved two decisive victories in their last matches, beating Bochum (5-0) and Stuttgart (4-0), collecting a total of 20 points to lead the league, ahead of RB Leipzig based on goal difference.
However, in the Champions League, Vincent Kompany’s side has suffered two consecutive losses to Barcelona (1-4) and Aston Villa (0-1), which is far from ideal for such a prestigious club. In the first round, Bayern overwhelmed Dinamo Zagreb with a 9-2 victory.
