Dortmund vs Mainz Prediction & Betting tips
Borussia Dortmund will face the number last in the Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon in the Signal-Iduna-Park. Anything other than a home win in the game against FSV Mainz 05 would be a surprise.
Borussia Dortmund:
Borussia Dortmund recorded a great, and somewhat unexpected, victory last Saturday. Prior to the top match at RB Leipzig, the yellow-blacks were the underdog. However, Dortmund played a solid game. Because Leipzig came up below par, Dortmund largely stayed out of trouble. In the second half, Der BVB itself struck three times. Not for the first time this season Erling Haaland was worth gold to his team. The Norwegian had a large share in the 1-3 victory with a Doppelpack.
Due to the win, Dortmund logically caught up with Leipzig by three points. And the difference with leader Bayern Munich also became three points smaller, due to the defeat that the Munich team suffered a day earlier. The gap with the leader of the list is now five points and looks somewhat bridgeable again. An important period begins for the team of trainer Edin Terzic. On Tuesday, Der BVB will play against Bayer Leverkusen, followed by a game with Borussia Mönchengladbach next weekend.
Mainz 05:
For the fans of FSV Mainz 05, it is still a season without joy. Those Nullfünfer have the greatest difficulty to get points. Only six did the red and white collect so far. Mainz is at the very bottom of the ranking. Last weekend, things went wrong in the derby against Eintracht Frankfurt. Mainz was not happy in this game. They were given two penalties, while the team saw its own penalty taken back, after intervention by the VAR. The Rhein-Main-Derby was lost 0-2.
The coming week will not be an easy one for Mainz, with matches against VfL Wolfsburg and RB Leipzig on the schedule after the game in Westphalia. Mainz’s current trainer is Dane Bo Svensson. He is already the third coach to stand for the group this season. ‘Obviously, things have to go well if you want to be successful in Dortmund,’ Svensson realized. ‘Nevertheless, it remains our goal to perform consistently for ninety minutes.’
