Mainz - FC Bayern is only one step away from the German championship. A win in the last four games of the season and the cup can no longer be taken from Munich. From Bayern's point of view, it should be in Mainz on matchday 31.

Coach Hansi Flick wants to bag at least the championship title on his farewell tour with FC Bayern - it would be the ninth in a row.
“It is important that we win the championship.
We want to do that as soon as possible, ”said Flick on Friday.
With ten points ahead of second in the table, RB Leipzig, a victory on Saturday afternoon at FSV Mainz 05, which is still in danger of relegation, would mathematically bring the decision in the fight for the title.
"It would be a deserved championship," said Flick in advance.
FC Bayern in Mainz in the live ticker: Is there the championship party in Mainz?
It is doubtful whether it will be possible to celebrate extensively, as the people of Munich usually do. "Have we booked the P1?" Asked Flick press officer Dieter Nickles mischievously. "The application is still pending," he replied quickly. “No, what should we do in that time? We hope to be home before 10 p.m. ”, Flick explained seriously, but still left a back door open. “Our goal is to win the title. Everything that comes after that requires a bit of spontaneity and the players definitely have that. "
The Mainz team should by no means be underestimated.
The FSV was unbeaten for six games in a row and celebrated four wins.
“We know that Mainz has a run.
You can even appear a little more relaxed now.
They play very aggressively and compactly and can also switch quickly, ”said Flick.

The injured hospital is gradually clearing up again.
In Rheinhessen, Flick may be able to fall back on Serge Gnabry, who survived his corona infection, and Marc Roca.
Striker Robert Lewandowski will certainly be there. * The Pole missed the last six competitive games due to a ligament injury in his right knee.
Lewandowski has 35 goals this season and is chasing the 40-goal record of club legend Gerd Müller.
Flick left it open whether Lewandowski was allowed to run right from the start to break the goal record. “He has been absent for four weeks now, but is in very good physical condition. We have to see how he can cope with the strain, then we will of course support him. ”After winning the championship, the record could be the last big goal for Bayern * this season.
