Borussia Dortmund’s miserable period in the Bundesliga continued over the weekend,a s they couldn’t record maximum points in their previous fixture. However, they will be heavily favoured to pick up maximum points this week when they host relegation-threatened Mainz.

• Werder Bremen vs RB Leipzig Prediction: Bundesliga Match on 19.12.2023

Bundesliga Preview

Borussia Dortmund will be looking to get back on track in the Bundesliga this week, as they lost more ground on the Champions League spots in the previous round of matches. Dortmund currently sit fifth in the standings, and they now find themselves five points off the top four positions in the current standings. 

Wins have been challenging to come by this term, evident by the fact that they have recorded seven victories from their opening 15 matches. That is three fewer than the side located above them in the current standings. Dortmund have now gone three without a victory in the Bundesliga after they were held 1-1 by Augsburg over the weekend. Their only goal in that tie was netted after 35 minutes by Donyell Malen. However, they lacked the quality in the final third to land maximum points.

Mainz will be the massive outsiders in the betting this weekend, and they come into the round sitting side the bottom two places in the current standings. They have picked up just one win from their opening 15 matches this term, and over that period, they have suffered eight defeats, which is the second most in the Bundesliga this term.

Mainz come into the latest round after suffering a second defeat in three league fixtures. Their most recent loss was suffered at home on Saturday, as they were defeated in front of their home fans by Heidenheim. Mainz managed just four shots on target in that fixture, and their quality in the final third would be a huge concern.

Borussia Dortmund vs Mainz Head to Head

Dortmund are unbeaten in their last six matches against Mainz in the Bundesliga. The previous clash between the sides ended in a 2-2 draw in May, as Dortmund battled back from two goals down.

Borussia Dortmund vs Mainz Prediction

Dortmund have struggled for victories in recent weeks, but this looks to be a winnable match on paper this week. We struggle to overlook the hosts getting back on track, and we could see them recording a 2-0 win in front of their home fans.
