Bayern Munich - Mainz Preview: Bavarians look to put midweek disappointment against BVB behind them
Goal.com previews the action as Jupp Heynckes' men welcome the Oh-Fives to the Allianz Arena on Saturday with one eye on their clash with Real Madrid in midweek

Jupp Heynckes is likely to rotate his squad ahead of the crunch clash with Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday. Ivica Olic is in with a chance to step in for Mario Gomez, while Danijel Pranjic and Anatoliy Tymoshchuk could deputise for Franck Ribery and Luiz Gustavo respectively.
David Alaba might be given a rest with Diego Contento slotting in at left-back while injured duo Daniel Van Buyten and Breno are definite absentees for the Bavarians, who have a nearly full-strength squad at their disposal.
Mainz will have to do without the services of Stefan Bell, Bo Svensson and Marcel Risse, who are still recovering from knocks. The Oh-Fives' top goalscorer in the Bundesliga, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, and former Real Madrid man Adam Szalai are set to spearhead the attack.

The vice-captain is slowly working his way back to fitness, and will be keen to prove that he is ready to face Real Madrid on Tuesday. His world-class passing and excellent defensive abilities could prove crucial as Bayern Munich aim to make light work of Mainz.

Has become synonymous of Mainz' resurgency since the winter break, and would love to score a goal against Bayern Munich, piling more misery on Jupp Heynckes' men, who lost against his former club Borussia Dortmund in midweek. His quick feet and mind will pose danger to the Bavarians' back line.
Bayern Munich might be thinking about Real Madrid and the Champions League, but they still should be able to bag the three points against Thomas Tuchel's players at the Allianz Arena on Saturday.
