From the source

Bayern Munich will look to return to winning ways in the Bundesliga when they travel to Mainz 05 on Saturday, with the league leaders facing a side desperate to end their recent slump.

The Bavarians head into the Matchday 9 encounter following a frustrating run of results, having drawn four of their last eight competitive fixtures. Their most recent Bundesliga draw came against Borussia Dortmund, when Bayern dominated proceedings but were denied victory by Fabio Silva's late equaliser in the 89th minute.

Despite their recent struggles to turn dominance into victories, Vincent Kompany's side remain favourites against a Mainz team that has lost four of its last five competitive matches.
