Bayern's bad mood may mean misery for Mainz

Mainz v Bayern Munich

2.30pm Saturday

Bayern Munich are angry and when the perennial Bundesliga champions are hurting they are usually at their most dangerous, which could spell more misery for Mainz.

In response to a four-game losing sequence, Bayern's chiefs organised an extraordinary press conference last week, demanding more respect from the media and support for recently-appointed manager Niko Kovac.

The team have responded with two-goal margins of victory away to Wolfsburg and AEK Athens and they can do likewise at Mainz, who have failed to score in their last five matches.

Bayern deserve to be heavy favourites and have won at Mainz by more than one goal on five of their last six visits. They should do so again despite Arjen Robben's suspension.

Recommendation
Bayern Munich -1.5 on Asian handicap

Getafe v Real Betis

Eleven Sports, 11am Sunday

The demands of the Europa League can make life tricky for teams looking to balance those midweek fixtures with league appearances but Real Betis can shake off any San Siro fatigue from Thursday's trip to Milan by gaining a positive result at Getafe.

Betis have lost their last two league games 1-0 but they have played fairly well and can make light of their underdogs tag.

Recommendation
Betis +0.25 on Asian handicap
1pt 17-20 bet365, 188Bet
