Thomas Reis (head coach VfL Bochum 1848):

The title race is a tight as it’s ever been so far this season and what was once a seven-point lead at the top for Bayern has quickly been reduced to a three-way tie with them, Borussia Dortmund and Union Berlin, all with 43 points. Bayern, of course, has the superior goal difference but next weeks clash against Union is now excellently poised to bare significant title race ramifications.

Matchday 33 in the Bundesliga | RBL travel to face FC Bayern München | All the key players in our head to head

Saturday’s home game at the MEWA ARENA will see 1. FSV Mainz 05 face off against FC Bayern München for the 32nd time in the Bundesliga, with the visitors having already won the league for the tenth time in a row last weekend. Today, we’re taking the opportunity to look back on the Zerofivers’ first-ever home victory against the record champions with a man who has experience on both sides of the fixture: Florian Heller. The former Mainz right-back played at every level of FC Bayern’s youth academy but moved to Bruchweg in 2008, and started in the win for an FSV side coached by Thomas Tuchel, in their third game since regaining promotion to the top division. The 2-1 triumph in August 2009 was watched by 20,300 fans at the Bruchwegstadion, with the home side scoring all the goals. Andreas Ivanschitz opened the scoring, before Aristide Bancé’s goal gave Mainz a 2-0 lead going into half time. An own goal from Nikolce Noveski just after the restart halved the deficit, as he deflected a ball from Thomas Müller into his own net.
