Dortmund vs Mainz: Preview, free tip and statistics
15.10.2021 11:00
After the national break, the German top football league is back and with it the fan-favourite Dortmund, who will welcome the visitors from Mainz to their stadium.
Background information, news and team form
Marco Rose's team have caught great form before the national break, having lost only once in their last 5 Bundesliga games, and that was at Monchengladbach. But otherwise, the German coach's charges have scored 12 points and are now in third place with 15 points guaranteeing them a place in the Champions League. Dortmund now has a few easier games to win and secure their third place in the table, but the start of star scorer Erling Haaland, who is injured, is questionable. In the games in which the Norwegian superstar has not played Borussia have only managed to score 3 goals while in all previous games this season when Haaland has started 23 have been scored. Mainz is also doing quite well. They are in ninth place in the league table with 10 points, thanks for example to the defeat of the Leipzig giants, whom Mainz beat at home by the closest possible score of 1-0. Danish coach Svensson is doing a great job with his team. The Danish manager came to the team last season in January when the team was already looking tragic and relegation to the second German league was expected. However, Svensson pulled off a masterstroke and managed to save Mainz from the relegation places and defend the Bundesliga for the next season.
Betdoin's view of the match
Home side Borussia Dortmund go into this match as clear odds-on favourites at odds of 1.45. A draw is available with bookmakers at odds of 5. And if you want to bet on the visitors from Mainz to win, the odds for them to win are available at odds of 7.50 The goal line for this match is listed at over 3 by the bookmakers. Our clever Betdoin algorithm is aware of Dortmund's goal-scoring potential in recent games and therefore sees value in the underbets. Another interesting option could be a bet on corner kicks. Borussia may not score that many goals, but their dominance in ball possession will be unquestionable in this match.
Absentees and estimated line-ups
The aforementioned Erling Haaland still hasn't fully recovered even after missing the Champions League and the national break, so his start is still in doubt. Injuries also include defenders Soumaila Coulibaly, Mateu Morey, Dan-Axel Zagadou and Raphael Guerreiro. Marcel Schmelzer could already be back, but the German coach probably won't want to rush his return. Mainz will miss the out-of-sorts Dominik Kohr after he did not play in the last game against Berlin due to a red card.
Dortmund - estimated line-up:
Kobel - Meunier, Akanji, Hummels, Schulz - Brandt, Witsel, Bellingham - Reus - Malen, Wolf
Mainz - estimated line-up:
Zentner - Bell, Hack, Niakhate - Widmer, Barreiro, Stach, Lucoqui - Boetius, Ingvartsen - Burkardt
