Bayern Munich<\/a> travel to face Mainz<\/a> in a meeting that starkly highlights the gulf between the Bundesliga<\/a>\u2019s leaders and a mid-table side. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kick-off is at 14:30 on Saturday 25 April at the MEWA Arena, and the visitors arrive boasting the league’s most potent attack and a record that dwarfs their hosts in almost every metric. With Bayern\u2019s relentless goal-scoring form and Mainz\u2019s struggles for clean sheets, this clash looks set to be defined by the Bavarians\u2019 firepower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Best Bets & Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on Bayern’s astonishing attacking record and Mainz\u2019s defensive vulnerabilities, here are our top betting recommendations for this match. We\u2019re especially confident in a goals-based selection, given the trends and the quality of Bayern\u2019s front line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Prediction<\/th>\nOdds & Bookmaker<\/th>\nConfidence<\/th>\nWhy We’re Backing It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Over 3.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n1\/1 @ Bet365<\/a>
(50.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing goals, as Bayern average 3.6 per game and Mainz concede 1.5. The last three league clashes between these sides have all produced at least four goals. Bayern\u2019s shot volume and accuracy point to another high-scoring encounter.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams To Score – No<\/strong><\/td>\n9\/5 @ Betfair<\/a>
(35.7%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here due to Bayern\u2019s 11 clean sheets in 30 matches and Mainz\u2019s struggle to find the net against top opposition. Bayern\u2019s defensive record is the best in the league, and Mainz have failed to score in four of their last six against top-four sides.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Season Form & Standings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Bayern Munich have already secured the Bundesliga title and go into this match off the back of a four match winning run. Mainz are safely in midtable but their negative goal difference and two games without a win will be a worry to the hosts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
