Bayern Munich
They comfortably won their away match against Heidenheim last weekend (0-4), taking another step towards the title. They didn't even break a sweat, took the lead early in the 13th minute through Kane and were three goals up by the 36th minute (Laimer 19', Coman 36'). Kimmich set the final score in the 56th minute.
The victory helped them to put behind the elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Inter. They also managed a clean sheet in a Bundesliga match for the first time after the 4-0 win against Eintracht Frankfurt on 23 February.
Even though their score has not been perfect lately, they managed to gain an eight-point lead over Leverkusen, which is in a series of two drawn matches. With four rounds remaining, Vincent Kompany's side needs only four points to secure the league title mathematically.
Bayern continue to score consistently, having scored 87 goals, averaging 2.9 goals per game. Another impressive statistic reveals that they have created 152 key chances, 55 more than Eintracht, who are second in this category. The Bavarians are dominant and will, most likely, rightly win the title again after a one-year break.
Mainz
Mainz only managed a 2-2 draw at home against Wolfsburg last weekend. They fell behind just after three minutes of play, but managed to turn the game around by halftime, with the goals from Lee (37') and Kohr (40'). They were close to snatching the three points, but conceded late, in the 89th minute, from a corner kick.
This was the fifth consecutive match without a win for a Mainz team that shows defensive instability. In the early part of the season, it was their efficient build-up from behind that sent them up the table, but their defensive line is now betraying them. As a consequence, they have conceded at least two goals in four of their five previous matches.
However, Mainz remain in the hunt for a European ticket. They are currently in 6th spot in the standings, with 47 points, two points behind 4th-placed RB Leipzig and one point behind 5th-placed Freiburg, who have recently overtaken them.
