Dortmund – Mainz : Preview & Prediction
Which team could be provisional Bundesliga leader if they win against Mainz on Saturday? It’s Borussia Dortmund. Uncompromising at home with 3.5 goals on average, Marco Rose’s men absolutely need to win to secure a place in the title race. In previous years, the BVB has too often missed this chance but Reus and his teammates want to reverse the trend. After their 2-1 victory over Augsburg before the break, Borussia will once again be able to count on their home crowd to claim a fifth consecutive victory at home, synonymous with first place in the league.
Mainz is Dortmund’s pet peeve. BVB have won only twice in the last ten meetings between the two teams, only once at home on April 13 … 2019! Even though the FSV remain on two consecutive defeats and have won only one away game since the start of the season, they are a team that concedes very few goals (five in seven games). Facing the yellow and black armada, Bo Svensson’s players have the opportunity to show their defensive strength and why not, come away with a positive result from the Westfalenstadion.
BVB is third in the championship.
BVB have scored almost three times as many goals as Mainz.
The BVB have won all of their home games.

Borussia Dortmund have been incredible since the start of the season at home and their opponents generally concede a lot of goals. But faced with their pet peeve who is also the best defense in the championship, BVB will have to redouble their efforts to win.
