Mainz and Borussia Dortmund are set to square off at Mewa Arena in a Bundesliga match that promises to be captivating. Mainz, known as Die Nullfunfer, have ended their last three league games in draws, but a victory over Dortmund could lift them out of the relegation zone. Brajan Gruda and Nadiem Amiri return from suspensions, although Philipp Mwene remains unavailable due to his own ban.
On the other side, Dortmund comes into this game weary from their recent Champions League encounter with PSG, which may leave Edin Terzic’s team vulnerable due to fatigue. This scenario leads us to lean towards a potential upset by Mainz, despite their recent history of not having beaten Dortmund in league play since June 2020. Dortmund will also be missing Julien Duranville and Ramy Bensebaini due to injuries, although Karim Adeyemi is likely to be featured in the starting lineup.
The match is predicted to end with a 2-1 victory for Mainz.
