THE PREDICTION
Mainz continued their impressive form with a 1-1 draw away to Eintracht Frankfurt last Sunday, extending their unbeaten run to nine games and all but securing their safety. Bo Svensson’s side have shown that they can get results even against the best teams in recent months, so they will not fear Borussia Dortmund. That said, the visitors are also in good form and travel to the OPEL ARENA on a high after lifting the cup on Thursday with a 4-1 win over Leipzig, where star man Erling Haaland returned to the side and the scoresheet. That was the Black and Yellows’ sixth straight win in all competitions but they have struggled for clean sheets on their travels, so back both of these in-form teams to score.
