Dortmund vs Mainz Prediction & Tips
Borussia Dortmund third in the Bundesliga standings against Mainz at home, which with its 10 points is traveling quietly in the middle of the table. The Gialloneri, still without Haaland, are veterans of the success with Augusta, useful for getting up after the knockout with Monchengladbach. Instead, there are two losses in a row for the guests who fell against both Union Berlin 2-1 and Leverkusen 1-0.
Five of Mainz’s last six games have ended with Under 2.5 results
Mainz have only scored two away goals in their last three games
The guests have the best defense of the tournament with five goals to the passive
Borussia Dortmund will miss Haaland, scoring seven of the team’s 19 Bundesliga goals
Our prediction for the match between Borussia Dortmund and Mainz is for the Under 2.5 team. The share is very high, but it is worth the risk because it will not be easy for the Gialloneri to score a lot as it often happens. The absence of Haaland will weigh heavily, the attacker is the fulcrum of the offensive maneuver and without him a reference will be missing inside the penalty area. A real substitute does not exist and this is not good news as Borussia will deal with an almost hermetic defense. Mainz have conceded only five goals, three of which away and are certainly a very difficult client to face with his 3-5-2 which aims to protect the three central players a lot and to cancel every possible one-on-one. This obviously goes to the detriment of an attack that scores with the dropper, another clue for the possible Under 2.5 of the match. The great density in the central area of the field and in the penalty area could limit the personal actions of the many Dortmund talents and then without a real battering ram, scoring with such closed defenses is always very difficult. So we aim for the Under 2.5, while the hosts remain the favorites for the final victory.
