"After a brief stumble at the end of November-drawing with Union Berlin and losing 3-1 to Arsenal in the Champions League-Bayern have roared back to form. Vincent Kompany's men have won four straight matches, scoring 14 goals in the process. Last weekend's 5-0 demolition of Stuttgart showcased their attacking firepower, and they followed up with a 3-1 victory over Sporting Lisbon in midweek, their seventh game in 10 to feature three or more goals."
"Fischer could hardly have chosen a tougher assignment for his first game in charge. Mainz are bottom of the Bundesliga, six points from safety, and have managed just one win all season, losing nine of their 13 matches. Their struggles prompted the dismissal of Bo Henriksen, and Fischer now faces the monumental task of reviving their fortunes. A 1-1 draw with Lech Poznan in the Europa Conference League last weekend ended a three-game scoreless run, but Mainz remain fragile and short on confidence."
Bayern Munich sit eight points clear at the top of the Bundesliga after winning four straight matches and scoring 14 goals in that run. Vincent Kompany's side delivered a 5-0 win over Stuttgart and a 3-1 victory over Sporting Lisbon, with seven of their last ten matches featuring three or more goals. Luis Diaz is suspended, Jamal Musiala is recovering and expected back in January, and Sacha Boey is a doubt. Mainz 05 are bottom, six points from safety with one win this season, and face defensive absences including Anthony Caci and Maxim Dal as Urs Fischer debuts.
