In less than an hour the ball will be rolling in Munich’s Allianz Arena. Bayern host 1. FSV Mainz 05 on Matchday 12. After beating FC Barcelona 3-0 during the week, FCB would like to follow up directly in the Bundesliga. We provide you with the line-ups for the prestige duel.
In terms of personnel, little has changed at FC Bayern between the guest appearance in Barcelona and today’s home game against Mainz. Manuel Neuer is still out. Thomas Müller also has to pass again because he is struggling with an irritation in his hip. The original Bavarian was allowed to play against Barça again in the last half hour. In addition, after Lucas Hernandez (muscle bundle tear in the adductor area), Leroy Sane (muscle fiber tear) and Sarr (knee surgery) are missing.
Mazraoui is again preferred to Pavard
