Bayern Munich vs Mainz lineups, disucussion: Time, TV schedule and how to watch the Bundesliga online

After an underwhelming 3-0 win over Anderlecht in the Champions league on Tuesday, Bayern Munich return to Bundesliga action, this time against FSV Mainz 05.

On paper, the tie seems like a routine game for the Bavarians, with Mainz having just barely avoided finishing in the relegation spots the year before. However, it isn’t that simple. Since 2015-16, the plucky little club have taken the same number of points from Bayern as Borussia Dortmund, despite a massive gulf in quality. Bayern coach Carlo Ancelotti will have to be wary of the little club under new coach Sandro Schwarz, as Mainz hope to outfox the Bavarians yet again.

It’s Bayern time.

2. Refresh the page regularly to keep up with the discussion. One refresh every 55-60 seconds is ideal but if that’s too much then just try for one every five minutes and after every goal.
3. The goal celebrations are for everyone to participate in. Even if you’re lagging behind the others, keep replying to the most recent call of the player’s name. Even if you missed the first call, just start from the second, and so on.

That’s about it. Auf geht’s!
