Mainz get the match underway!
Unsurprisingly, Bayern make a number of changes to the side that started against Anderlecht, due to having a less time to rest, with Ancelotti making five changes to the XI. Meanwhile, Schwarz makes two changes to the team which beat Leverkusen, introducing Quaison up top and Serdar in the middle.
Meanwhile, Sandro Schwarz managed his first win in the Bundesliga as a coach when Mainz defeated Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 last time out. However, he has a lot to live up to when his side make the journey south, as the Carnival Club haven’t lost in their last two visits to the Allianz Arena.
Bayern Munich head into this fixture coming back of a comfortable outing in the Champions League, where the Bavarians cruised to a 3-0 victory over Anderlecht. However, it’s their domestic form they’re looking to improve on, with the German champions currently residing in sixth place.
Hello and welcome to the live text commentary between Bayern Munich and Mainz at the Allianz Arena in the Bundesliga!
HALF TIME! Bayern head into the break with a well deserved 2-0. Muller put the Bavarians in front before Robben doubled their lead, but in truth it could be four already.
FULL TIME! Bayern Munich are back in business. After defeat at Hoffenheim, Bayern display that crisis isn't in their vocabulary with a dominant display to win 4-0 and it could have been much more.
That's all from us this afternoon! Thanks for joining us throughout this clash between Bayern Munich and Mainz in the Bundesliga.
