Maybe Robert Lewandowski is a regular scorer against his former club Borussia Dortmund, but it doesn’t mean that he ‘neglects’ other teams. In fact, the Pole has so far scored 19 goals in 21 games against today’s opponent Mainz 05, a truly remarcable record. If we look at the calendar year, Lewa has scored 40 goals in 33 Bundesliga games in 2021, and with this tempo, he won’t have any problem to surpass (again) Gerd Muller, who scored 42 goals in one calendar year.Not bad for a defender 😏Niklas #Süle getting in on the action last time we faced Mainz at home 💥#FCBM05 #packmas pic.twitter.com/EtIdOld7xn— FC Bayern English (@FCBayernEN) December 11, 2021 Whoever thought that Bayern will stumble without Josua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka and Sergy Gnabry only has to look at Champions League match against Barcelona (3-0) to see that the Bavarians have no problems without them.

Bochum have won three out of their last four and will surely do everything in their power to keep the momentum.Chaos, boos and protests: Bayern’s General assembly exploded over Qatar AirwaysErling Haaland has come back from injury and will start the game. Thorgan Hazard is available again, while Julian Brandt suffered a concussion against Bayern, and will not be called to help until it’s really necessary, Donyell Malen is a doubt, so Marius Wolf could start on the right wing as a result, with Dan-Axel Zagadou also set to retain his spot in the continued absence of first-choice centre-back Manuel Akanji.
