Prediction: 1-2
Borussia Dortmund
Mewa Arena will host Saturday’s football game between Mainz and Borussia Dortmund, the two teams sitting in the opposite halves of the table. Die Nullfunfer aim to put an end to their three-game winless run and are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Yellow-Blacks. Forward Armindo Sieb is pushing for a start, while both Moritz Jenz and Andreas Hanche-Olsen remain in the recovery room.
Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Leipzig. Nuri Sahin’s men have a chance to climb to the Champions League berth and seeing that they are high on confidence following a hard-fought win over Sturm in the elite competition, away triumph should be considered. Defender Ramy Bensebaini serves a one-game ban, while all Gregor Kobel, Kjell Watjen, Julian Ryerson, Niklas Sule, and Julien Duranville miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
