Mainz 05 – Borussia Dortmund – can be said to Mainz this season as expected, provided that they are quite exhausted and the Europa League, where they finished appearance in the group stage. Borussia failed when the championship is concerned, but in the second part of the season determined to enter all repair and to reach the Champions League which is very well play this season. In the Cup are also still active and well have started the second part of the season, away win and Mainz on the other hand failed to win at home and had to settle for a draw. In the first season of the Borussia at home won with 2: 1 and total are much better in mutual clashes and Mainz is entered only three wins, while Borussia won 12 times.
Mainz in the first round after the break welcomed Cologne and failed to celebrate at home. They did not even give no score and finished 0: 0, although it must be said to have had a bit more of the game and would not have been undeserved to have won. It was only the third draw for Mainz this season, and before the break were in the changing rhythm and mostly at home, won, and lost their away matches. What is true again say that the winter break lost two important players and it is very much felt in the match against Cologne.
They sold ofanzivca Mallija, and he went and Clemens and certainly that is numb attack these teams, while the all followed up the suspension for otherwise standard attackers Cordoba, who could not play. They can not be in this essay, and as for the rest of the band, predicted to be in the starting lineup in the last round could be Donati and Ramalho, but they both remained on the bench, as well as Gbamin. It is certain to be far Donati should return to the right side, as well as Gbamin in midfield, while in some zatvorenijoj variants probably De Blasis on the bench.
Probable lineups Mainz: Lossl – Donati, Bell, Bungert, Bussmann – F.FREI, Latz, Gbamin – Jairo, Oztunali – Muto
With three draws is Borussia finished the previous calendar year, or more precisely four, if we count the Champions League. The first match of the season brought their hosting of Bremen and force the big favorite this season against Werder unconvincing. They took an early stage match over Schurrlea and really seemed to not have any problems. At the end of the first half is still off and the keeper is also because the job was made easier, and then with a player more on the ground conceded and began the siege of the goal of the host, in order to give others which they did 20 minutes before the end.
Thus, even in the season is not shining and it may help them return scorer Aubameyang, whose team had previously finished appearance at the African Cup of Nations and will now lead the attack of his team. In Bremen are on the bench and were Dembele and Guerreiro, who later entered the game and hurt the Schmelzer but he now asked. If he’s not ready to jump into Durm, while Guerreiro definitely going in midfield of the team, including starters could and M.GÖTZE, which means it will be very offensive in Mainz. Very important is that the returns and Burki ease.
Probable lineups Borussia Dortmund: Burki – Piszczek, Sokratis, Ginter, Durm – Weigl – M.GÖTZE, Guerreiro – Dembele, Reus – Aubameyang
