Mainz 05, Recent FormMainz 05 will be reasonably happy to come away from their match against Heidenheim with a 1-1 draw and a valuable point. During that encounter they had 54% possession and had 10 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 15 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 11 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 4 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing at home, they have conceded a goal in 12 of their 16 games this season.
There will be mixed feelings from Die Nullfünfer, while they've been undefeated in their last 7 league games, they've drawn their last 3.
Jonathan Burkardt will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Mainz 05.
Borussia Dortmund, Recent FormIn their previous league fixture, Borussia Dortmund managed a remarkable 5-1 home win against Augsburg. Their share of possession in that meeting was 60%, while racking up 21 shots along the way, 10 of which were on target. Augsburg had 22 shots on goal with 4 on target.
It seems pretty certain that Edin Terzić will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 11 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, away from home this season, they have scored in 15 of their 16 games played.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way. They've had a reasonably strong showing playing away from home this season, having been unbeaten in 14 of their 16 league games on the road this season.
Marcel Sabitzer has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Mainz 05.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
In the past 8 away matches at Mainz in the league, Die Borussen have consistently found the net, scoring at least 1 goal in each of those encounters. Dortmund have a good attacking record away to Die Nullfünfer in the league, having scored a total of 6 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2 goals per game.
Undefeated in their last 8 league encounters against Mainz at The MEWA Arena, Dortmund have dominated this fixture in recent times, winning on their last 6 visits in a row.
Mainz manager Bo Henriksen has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Stefan Bell (Heart problems), Maxim Leitsch (Groin), Jessic Ngankam (Hip) and Karim Onisiwo (Finger) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Edin Terzić has a number of injury concerns in his Dortmund squad to contend with: Karim Adeyemi (Knock), Ramy Bensebaïni (Medial Collateral Ligament), Julien Duranville (Muscle) and Sébastien Haller (Physical discomfort)
