The result of the match between mainz vs munich was beyond the expectations that we thought before, honestly I did not expect if mainz managed to break munich unbeaten streak this season in their home, the defeat of course has made frankfurt and leverkusen have great hopes to stay on the track of the championship competition especially now they are only 4 points behind munich who are at the top of the standings, With the difference in points getting thinner at the moment then we can say the competition will be tighter and every game will be very crucial for munich, frankfurt and leverkusen later, losing points from mainz which is a mid-table team shows that currently munich still have weaknesses, that can be exploited by the rival team team later to continue to put pressure on munich.
I predicted that the match would be won by Bayern Munich with more than two goals, but what happened was the opposite where Bayern Munich had to submit to Mainz. It is true that Bayern Munich's condition still has several weaknesses and that can be seen when they face opponents who are much weaker. Previously we thought they would be impressive in the Bundesliga but the tight match schedule made Bayern Munich finally get their first defeat in the Bundesliga and this happened because it was inseparable from the fatigue factor that made the players not in good form. The conditions that occurred were also very beneficial for Frankfurt and Leverkusen because they currently have the opportunity to catch up on points.
Everyone literally predicted Bayern Munich to win because they haven't lost since the season but Mainz humbled them to their first defeat in the Bundesliga. Had it been Eintracht Frankfurt won their match against Leipzig yesterday, they would have closed the gap but for now Bayern Leverkusen has picked the race against Bayern Munich as they are just 4 points behind. Mainz is a weaker team when compared with Bayern Munich but if you check their form this season, it is not bad and they are 7th in the league table which means they are one of the average teams in the Bundesliga. Fatigue also affected Bayern Munich players after they lashed Shakhter Donestk 5:1 when they met in the Champions league last week. The absence of Harry Kane due to a thigh injury he sustained in their game against Borussia Dortmund also made the team to lose a bit confidence because since his absence, they have played four games in all competitions, won two and lost two.
Yeah the majority predicted Bayern to win that match, they were the clear favourites to win it based on their form and unbeaten run in the league, i don't think anyone saw their defeat cause who would believed that Mainz would end their unbeaten run, or even score twice in that match. Bayern Munich dominated the game but luck wasn't onn their side cause out of all the shots they had, about thirten or so, only one was able to find the back of the net, Mainz really frustrated them and utilized their chance properly. I feel this defeat was not only caused my fatigue, Bayern Munich didn't play with their attacker Harry Kane due to injury and it affected them cause they found it difficult to convert good chance, Muller wasn't really at his best today and failed to deliver his team in the absence of Kane.
