Borussia Dortmund - Mainz 05 predictions

Best bookmaker online do not see past Borussia Dortmund in this game and we wholeheartedly agree. The betting odds work largely in their favour and there is a good reason for it. Mainz 05 will have extremely difficult time running away with anything from this match.

Mainz are massive underdogs and will be extremely lucky to avoid complete annihilation at the hands of Borussia Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund played their previous Bundesliga match away and walked away with a rather disheartening draw. Although initial predictions were relatively optimistic, they failed to gain a lead throughout the match and the two teams were tied from beginning to end.

It’s back to the drawing board for Mainz 04 who will be fairly disappointed after losing the previous Bundesliga match. A 0:1 loss is not what their fans expected, especially since Mainz were firm favourites to win at 1.73.

The hosts are here after a series of home games marked by a high concession rate. For instance, they yielded more than 5 goals over the previous 3 matches at Signal-Iduna-Park.

If there’s any consistency to be found in the recent match history of Mainz, it’s that the games tend to be rather uneventful. The latest two ended up with fewer than 2 goals on the score board.

Number 5th in the standings, Borussia D. have done a decent job so far. Still, they can afford to have loftier ambitions with a matchup such as this one ahead of them. Besides, there are quite a few rounds yet to be played.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Julian Ryerson, Julien Duranville, Youssoufa Moukoko, Karim Adeyemi. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Silvan Widmer, Karim Onisiwo, Andreas Hanche-Olsen, Maxim Leitsch, Nelson Felix Patrick Weiper, Robin Zentner, Edimilson Fernandes, Josuha Guilavogui. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

The 2.85 offered for Under 2.5 Goals bets in this match may seem a bit risky considering the market, but they’re well worth it compared to the probability of the outcome. That said, it’s a solid choice for value, but not necessarily safety.
