Prediction: 3-1
Mainz
Borussia Dortmund will be aiming to move closer to the Champions League berth when they take on Mainz in the Bundesliga round 16. The Yellow-Blacks are eager to put an end to their three-game winless run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against die Nullfunfer. Mats Hummels is back from suspension, while all Youssoufa Moukoko, Julian Ryerson, Julien Duranville, Krim Adeyemi, and Felix Nmecha remain in the recovery room. Anyhow, Borussia Dortmund are eager to get their revenge on Mainz, who prevented them from winning the Bundesliga trophy last term.
The visitors, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Heidenheim, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the hosts. Mainz midfielder Tom Krauss is likely to drop to the bench following his under-performance in round 15, with Korea international Jae-Sung Lee stepping up.
