Borussia Dortmund vs Mainz: prediction for the Bundesliga match
Borussia failed to beat Mainz in two most recent home games, but will The Carnival Club make another sensation on October 16? Should we expect a surprise? The answer is in our prediction.

Command Analysis

Borussia Dortmund

At the start of the season Borussia made numerous mistakes, but Marco Rose's men managed to avoid a disaster. The Bumblebees are approaching the eight round at a 3rd spot in the league, they have 15 points in the asset - only one point away from Bayern and Bayer. In the most recent round Borussia recorded a 2:1 victory over Augsburg, it is their fifth win in the season.

Mainz 05

Despite all the predictions, Mainz got off to a great start in the current season. Bo Svensson's men barely avoided relegation in the previous season, but they started the new one with two victories in first three matches. But Carnival Club failed to maintain that form for a long time - a 1:2 defeat to Union in the previous match extended their winless streak to three matches. But club is still holding on to a respectable 10th position in the standings.

СтавкаMainz to not score
Mainz managed to score only in one out of three most recent away matches

Tip and bets
Borussia will have to play without a number of key players, their main loss is surely Erling Haaland. But The Bumblebees should be able to beat Mainz even with a weakened squad - The Carnival Club is not in a good form right now, so they are unlikely to put up a fight against the title contender.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1) on Borussia
Borussia are weakened by the loss of their best scorer - even if Erling Haaland will be able to play for some minutes, Rose is unlikely to risk his best player before the match against Ajax in the Champions League. Taking the possible absence of Norwegian striker and the uupcoming Champions League match into account, we should expect a low-scoring match, favourite will try to record a victory with little effort.
Our second bet is on total under 3.5 goals
