Match Time & Date:

14:30
Prediction: 2-2
Borussia Dortmund
Buoyed by a thrilling 4-1 win over Augsburg, Mainz will be aiming to keep on climbing the standings when they face Borussia Dortmund on Saturday afternoon. Die Nullfunfer have regained a much-needed confidence and they are surely capable of making life difficult for Karim Adeyemi and Co. at their Mewa Arena. Experienced midfielder Dominik Kohr serves a one-game ban, while defender Andreas Hanche-Olsen is a major doubt and will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The Yellow-Blacks, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Wolfsburg. Mainz, though, do not suit Borussia Dortmund and we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing more than one point from Saturday’s encounter. You should know that Mainz have defeated Borussia Dortmund in each of their last two meetings at Mewa Arena. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
