Bundesliga Preview: In-form Mainz provides tricky challenge for leader Bayern

The Hindu  

Victory for champion Bayern Munich in a game against visitor Mainz 05 would have been a foregone conclusion in any other season in the past decade but not this year. Mainz, under Danish coach Bo Svensson, is having its best season in 11 years, having lost one of its last six Bundesliga matches. Champions League club VfL Wolfsburg found out last week how deadly Mainz can be in attack these days, conceding two goals in the opening four minutes to lose 3-0. When Mainz loses possession Svensson's players hustle its opponents and stifles any chance of a quick break, while in attack it has the most in-form German striker in 21-year-old Jonathan Burkardt, who has netted 10 times in all competitions this season, including seven goals in the Bundesliga. Bayern is on a high following last week's 3-2 league win at second-placed Borussia Dortmund that opened a four-point gap at the top.
