FCB Women aiming to equal club record against Mainz

FC Bayern Women prepare to host Mainz 05 in a crucial Bundesliga match at their home ground. With their unbeaten record stretching to 43 games, the Munich squad aims to extend their current streak to equal the club's all-time record of 44 consecutive wins. This is the first encounter between the two sides in the Bundesliga, following Mainz's promotion to the top flight in 2023.

Mainz have shown impressive form recently, securing second place in their inaugural top-tier season. However, Bayern boast a strong head-to-head record against newly promoted teams, winning 12 out of 12 encounters. The hosts will be without Anna Klink (metacarpal fracture), Franziska Kett (ankle), Stine Ballisager (thigh), and Sarah Zadrazil (ACL tear), but there's hope that Giulia Gwinn and Lena Oberdorf might be fit to face the Rhineland-Palatinate side.

Head coach José Barcala has emphasized the importance of maintaining their structure and exploiting spaces in the Mainz defense.
