Bundesliga, played Saturday, May 27th, 2023
Here is our Borussia Dortmund v Mainz tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to not score in this game, over 2.5 goals, and a Borussia Dortmund home win. Our confidence in this pick was moderate relative to other picks.
This weekend marks the final games being played in the German Bundesliga and features this upcoming clash between the league leaders, Borussia Dortmund and Mainz at the SIGNAL IDUNA PARK with the hosts knowing a win here in their final home game of the season would be enough to seal this season's Bundesliga league title at the expense of Bayern Munich.
Borussia Dortmund last won the German top flight crown back in the 2011/12 season when Jurgen Klopp was in charge and the hosts are now on the brink of capturing another league title, and having lost just once in their last 18 matches overall along with winning their last three games on the trot, Dortmund look in great shape to get themselves over the line this Saturday.
Dortmund have also suffered just the one defeat at home all season as well, and Edin Terzic's side are in blistering form right now as they have collected 11 home wins on the trot with no fewer than nine of these wins resulting in Dortmund scoring three goals or more, such has been their overwhelming dominance of late and a sequence that has helped the hosts to the top of the Bundesliga with a two-point lead over Bayern Munich.
Mainz stumbled to a fourth consecutive defeat in the Bundesliga last weekend when they were handed a heavy 4-1 loss at home to relegation threatened Stuttgart and having previously slipped to losses against Wolfsburg, Schalke and Eintracht Frankfurt, Mainz's decline in form does not bode well for the visitors when they make their way to SIGNAL IDUNA PARK for Saturday's clash against Borussia Dortmund.
Mainz had previously put together an impressive and solid looking 10-match unbeaten run in the German top flight which consisted of six wins and four draws and the visitors were seemingly on course to achieve a top seven finish in this season's Bundesliga campaign.
However, Mainz have since imploded in dramatic fashion and the bigger picture shows that they have managed to pick up just two wins out of their last 10 outings on the road, so the prospects of them gaining a result against a highly motivated Borussia Dortmund outfit looks highly unlikely.
Borussia Dortmund v Mainz Verdict
Borussia Dortmund have scored in each of their last 19 games and they have also won the previous four meetings on the trot against Mainz so all roads look set to lead to a comprehensive home win here against a Mainz outfit who have conceded in each of their last seven games.
Therefore, our main bet will be Borussia Dortmund win-win HT/FT @ 1.57
