Bavaria faces championship: everything or nothing against Mainz!

On Saturday, April 24, 2025, FC Bayern Munich will compete against 1st FSV Mainz 05. A victory against Mainz could secure the 34th championship title to Bayern, and the team is currently in first place in the Bundesliga with 72 points (22 wins, 6 draws and 2 defeats). The distance to Bayer 04 Leverkusen, the runner -up, is 8 points.
The prerequisites for the championship are clear: Bavaria has to win against Mainz, while Leverkusen has to lose points against Augsburg at the same time. The first leg against Mainz, which took place in December, ended with a 1-2 defeat for the Munich. Nevertheless, Bayern won the last seven Bundesliga home games against Mainz. The last duel in the Allianz Arena ended with an impressive 8-1 win of Bayern.

This season Bayern has already celebrated 13 white vests, which together with RB Leipzig is the Ligahöchstwert. In the first half, Bavaria conceded very few goals - only 11.
Mainz, on the other hand, has a respectable defensive with 36 goals, but they have been collecting 47 points for five games (three draws, two defeats) after this season - the second best balance since the 2010/11.

Harry Kane's record hunt

A special focus is on Harry Kane, who has been running for FC Bayern since the 2023/24 season. He will probably play his 50th Bundesliga game on Saturday. In these 50 encounters, he achieved an incredible 55 goals, which represents a remarkable performance. He surpasses Haaland, who also scored 50 goals in his first 50 games. Kane is on the best way to set up a new record, since so far he was always in the starting eleven in each of his 54 possible missions and on average meets every 78 minutes.
It should also be emphasized that Kane has given 14 direct templates, which makes him a decisive player for Bavaria. He currently leads the goal scorer list with 24 goals and has already achieved seven double packs and seven triple packs, which is a new record.
This season Bavaria has won all eleven games in which Kane scored. His final efficiency is impressive: with 50 big chances he scored 55 goals, which corresponds to a value of 71 percent.

For Thomas Müller, a historical date could be imminent on Saturday: he could play his 500th Bundesliga game for Bayern Munich. Müller is not only known for his goalkeeper skills, but has also delivered six assists this season.

The championship prospects

FC Bayern could be back in the history books. With the possibility of winning the 34th championship title, the team would be faced with outstanding performance at the end of the season. However, it remains to be seen how the final of the season and above all the encounter against Mainz ends. It turns out that the pressure on the players and the trainer is still high.
