Bayern Munich is set to take on Mainz 05 in the DFB-Pokal in what should be a much more competitive match than the one that the Bavarians dominated over the weekend against VfL Bochum.

Let’s get right down to business and talk about the squads as they head into the match:

• Bayern Munich is seeking to continue build momentum, but will the squad start to earn a reputation for beating up on weaker teams.
• A look how each team fared in the previous round and the recent form of each squad.
• A look at the rosters and injuries for Mainz 05 and the Bayern Munich.
• A guess at Bayern Munich’s starting XI.
• A prediction on the match.
