Mainz 05 - Borussia Dortmund predictions

Borussia Dortmund will give Mainz 05 a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.33 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

Things are looking problematic for the visiting side. They are going up against a stronger team which also has a home pitch advantage. Victory is still within reach – they’ll just have to work harder than usual to get it.

Mainz are coming off of a 1:1 draw in their previous away game against Heidenheim . While this is not exactly great for them, most experts considered them to be slight underdogs going in, and the lead they had during half-time was quite surprising.

In the previous round of the Bundesliga, Borussia D. turned a slight edge in form and home-field advantage into a decisive 5:1 victory against Augsburg.

With over 5 goals over their past 3 home games, Mainz is not a team you want to meet at home. They’ll be looking to extend this trend as much as possible, so Borussia D. will need to be careful.

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, Team from Dortmund’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

The home team had several opportunities to beat Borussia D. this season, yet never managed to get anything other than a draw. They’re still considered the favourites, though, and the home-field advantage might be just what they need to break the stalemate.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Karim Onisiwo, Maxim Leitsch, Stefan Bell will have to sit this one out, while Borussia Dortmund will have to make do without Julien Duranville, Karim Adeyemi, Sébastien Haller, Ramy Bensebaini.
