Here is all you need to know about the Bundesliga fixture Mainz 05 - Borussia Dortmund!

Insights:
  • Mainz 05 haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
  • Borussia Dortmund is in the best form (5-0-1)

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the DFB Pokal. That game, against RB Leipzig, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Borussia Dortmund.

Relegation threatens Mainz who should definitely be looking for some points here. Borussia Dortmund are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

Mainz 05 form and stats

With 4 Bundesliga wins, 4 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Mainz 05 are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Mainz 05 manager B. Svensson and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Eintracht Frankfurt (placed 5th) in the Bundesliga. Karim Onisiwo, who plays in attack, was the top performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 7.44 (out of 10). Onisiwo scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled passed the opponent 2 of 3 times.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Hertha BSC that ended 1-1.

Mainz have scored 15 league goals here from 16 matches, not a lot. 23 goals have been conceded.

Borussia Dortmund form and stats

8-2-6 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Borussia Dortmund in their Bundesliga matches away. Borussia Dortmund have been producing wins at home as well, producing a total of five victories in a row regardless of arena.

Two travels in a row for Borussia, whose manager E. Terzic could celebrate last time after the DFB Pokal win against RB Leipzig. The attacker Jadon Sancho got a match rating of 9.33 in that game. Sancho scored two goals, served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled passed the opponent 4 of 5 times and had 28 successful passes (of 35 total).

A home win before that, celebrating 3-2 vs RB Leipzig.

Borussia have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 32 goals from 16 away matches. Borussia's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 25 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Borussia Dortmund - Mainz 1-1. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Mainz, two draws and five wins for Borussia Dortmund. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
