Borussia Dortmund vs Mainz
Borussia Dortmund are looking to end a recent run of poor results as they host Mainz in a German Bundesliga fixture on Sunday.
The hosts have struggled lately and are currently down in the bottom half of the table. The visitors have impressed this season and given their solid record in this fixture, should have enough quality to avoid defeat here.
Borussia Dortmund Form
It has been a difficult campaign for Borussia Dortmund, who are playing well below their best at the moment. Despite switching managers, they have not shown much improvement under Niko Kovac and are currently in the bottom half of the table.
Dortmund head into Sunday’s clash winless in eight of their last 11 Bundesliga matches, suffering seven defeats in that run, including a 2-0 loss at RB Leipzig last time out. They have also had little comfort at home and are winless in six of their last seven League fixtures at Signal Iduna Park.
One shining light for Borussia Dortmund is Serhou Guirassy, who leads the attack and has 14 Bundesliga goals this season. However, they are without a clean sheet in six of their last seven Bundesliga home matches, while four of the last five fixtures in that run have produced over 2.5 goals.
Mainz Form
Mainz have every reason to be pleased with their campaign so far as they are currently pushing for a Champions League finish. They are currently third in the table but have the likes of Eintracht Frankfurt, RB Leipzig and Freiburg breathing down their neck.
Bo Henriksen's team played out a 2-2 draw with Freiburg in their previous fixture to extend their unbeaten run to five Bundesliga matches having won the previous four fixtures in that run. They have also won their last three away fixtures with victories over RB Leipzig and Borussia Monchengladbach in that run.
Mainz have a prolific striker of their own in Jonathan Burkhardt, who has 15 Bundesliga goals this season. However, the visitors have struggled defensively and are without a clean sheet in their last three Bundesliga matches, all of which have produced over 2.5 goals.
Head to Head
Borussia Dortmund have a great overall record in this fixture but Mainz have claimed the upper hand in recent meetings. The visitors held out for draws on their last two trips to the Signal Iduna Park and have won the last two home meetings, including a 3-1 victory in the reverse fixture back in November.
Verdict
Borussia Dortmund are struggling at the moment and seem to have no respite to their problems. In contrast, Mainz have picked up four wins and a draw from their last five matches and given their record in recent meetings, an away win or draw is on the cards.
Both teams have scored in four of their last five meetings, with three of those fixtures producing over 2.5 goals, and Sunday’s clash is likely to follow a similar pattern.
