Mainz recently had to settle for a 0-0 draw against SC Freiburg. Last week BVB won against RB Leipzig 2-1. This means that Dortmund is now at the top of the table with 16 points.
At home, the FSV has not yet found its form: the two points from five games are a balance that could be improved. There is still room for improvement in the table for the home team in 13th place. After nine matches, 1. FSV Mainz 05 has two wins, four draws and three defeats. In the last five appearances, Mainz only managed one win.

At Borussia Dortmund, the defense was repeatedly shaky given the 15 goals they conceded. However, the offensive also liked to hit the opposing goal (17). So far, things have been modest for the guests at other places – the yield is limited to a meager point. Dortmund have had five wins, one draw and three defeats from their previous games. The return from the last few games is rock solid – BVB got nine points from the last five games.
Given both teams’ record, we can expect a hard-fought game in which the referees will have their hands full.
Formally, 1. FSV Mainz 05 is not the favorite in the game against Borussia Dortmund. Nevertheless, the FSV believes it has a chance of winning one point or another.
