Mainz Preview
Mainz resumed the Bundesliga action in the same way it left it for the World Cup break, failing to add up three points. Karnevalsverein visited Stuttgart on January 21, for a match that ended in a 1-1 draw, and that has left them in the 12th place in the overall standings.
The team’s performance has not been at its best for a long time, and that is a fact that is clearly reflected on their results in the domestic tournament, where the team has failed to win in 5 of the last 6 matches it has played. Now, the team will return home to try to break the negative streak it has been dragging on. Still, playing at home has not been a factor that has benefited the team throughout the 22-23 season, Indeed, it has only one of the 7 matches held at the Mewa Arena..
Probable lineup (3-4-2-1): Robin Zentner; Anthony Caci, Edimilson Fernandes, Alexander Hack; Aaron Martin, Aymen Barkok, Leandro Barreiro, Silvan Widmer; Jae-Sung Lee, Karim Onisiwo; Marcus Ingvartsen.
Dortmund Preview
Dortmund is in sixth place in the overall standings in the Bundesliga, a position that does not suit a club that usually qualifies for the UEFA Champions League. However, with 28 points, the team is only two points behind fourth place, a gap that can easily be shortened.
Mainz’s return to the tournament last matchday concluded with a hard-fought 4-3 victory over Augsburg, which put the two defeats in a row the team had suffered behind it before going into the break.
The team’s numbers when visiting Mainz are really good, as it has won the last 5 matches, taking into account all competitions. Still, playing away from home, the team has not fared well this season, losing in 5 matches out of the 8 it has played so far.
Probable lineup (4-4-1-1): Gregor Kobel; Julian Ryerson, Mats Hummels, Niklas Süle, Raphaël Guerreiro; Donyell Malen, Salih Özcan, Mahmoud Dahoud, Karim Adeyemi; Karim Adeyemi; Youssoufa Moukoko.
JefeBet Prediction
Dortmund is the favorite to win, but it must be careful not to continue to show the defensive issues it displayed on its last match played.
Likewise, the team’s offense has been on fire, scoring at least 2 goals in 5 of their 6 most recent games, and Sébastien Haller has recovered from cancer, which will bring plenty of scoring power to the team. Because of that, it is expected that this clash will follow the trend of Dortmund’s most recent matches, and that this match will end with a multiple goals being scored.
Prediction: Over (MAI 1-3 BVB).
