It's worth noting Mainz's low scoring in recent championship matches, scoring just one goal in their last several games. The club's goal difference in the current Bundesliga season is negative – 12:13. Mainz has only managed two wins in the current championship, with only two teams having fewer victories. With such results, the club is in 13th place in the Bundesliga standings, just two points clear of the relegation playoff zone. - The team has not scored more than one goal in 4 of their last 5 matches in the German championship. - Mainz has not lost in 15 of their last 18 Bundesliga encounters (7 wins, 8 draws). - The club's winless home streak in this tournament is 5 matches (2 draws, 3 losses). - No more than 3 goals have been scored in Mainz's last 7 home games in the championship. Borussia Dortmund Dortmund won their last round against Leipzig with a score of 2:1, handing the opponent their first defeat of the current Bundesliga season. Interestingly, the last four matches for Borussia in the championship have all ended with the score of 2:1, with the team winning two and losing two. Thanks to the victory over Leipzig, Dortmund returned to the European competition zone, climbing to 5th place in the Bundesliga standings. Additionally, the team has not kept a clean sheet in their last 7 matches in Germany's top football competition. - The club's uncompromising streak in the Bundesliga amounts to 7 matches (4 wins, 3 losses). - There has been an exchange of goals in Borussia's last 7 games in the elite German division. - The team lost 5 of their last 6 away matches in the German championship (1 draw). Mainz vs Borussia Dortmund: Match Prediction The hosts have drawn their last two Bundesliga matches, and I am confident they can give the inconsistent Borussia a run for their money, which has been alternating between wins and losses lately. It's important to remember that Dortmund will be visiting Mainz after a Champions League match against Sturm Graz and will be at a physical disadvantage. Mainz has already been giving Borussia a tough challenge recently, not losing to them in the last 3 head-to-head Bundesliga matches (1 win, 2 draws). Moreover, in the last encounter of this sequence, Mainz won convincingly with a 3:0 score on their home field. Overall, Mainz doesn't often lose in the Bundesliga, having picked up points in 15 of their last 18 matches. Dortmund, on the other hand, has been struggling in away games, failing to win on the road in their last 6 league matches. Therefore, my prediction is a "Mainz win or draw" with odds of 1.87.
