Borussia Dortmund form and stats

A strong away win for Borussia against RB Leipzig the last match, as Erling Braut Haaland (2) and Jadon Sancho were on target. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Wolfsburg in a game that was won 2-0.
The manager E. Terzic will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Bayer Leverkusen in only three days.

Mainz 05 form and stats
Mainz 05 have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Bundesliga, after 1-1-5 (7 played). Three has not been a lucky number for Mainz as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Hertha BSC match.
Mainz 05 might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Eintracht Frankfurt proved too strong as Mainz 05 slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at OPEL ARENA. Prior to that match, the Mainz manager J. Lichte faced defeat when travelling to Bayern München and losing 2-5.
As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Mainz's match history for similar games we find two matches. The home team won one of these as expected, zero of them by at least two goals. Mainz 05 managed zero draws and one surprise win.
After this away game Mainz return home for a Bundesliga game against Wolfsburg. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Mainz 05 have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 8 goals have been scored. Mainz 05 are struggling defensively in their away games, having conceded 8 goals in these matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: six wins for Borussia, one draw and three wins for Mainz 05. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
