Borussia Dortmund vs Mainz: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Category : BundesLiga , Football , Football prediction , Match Preview

The 2022/23 Bundesliga season will wrap up this Saturday, with Borussia Dortmund welcoming Mainz to Signal Iduna Park.

The hosts will be desperate to end the season on a high note after reclaiming the title initiative thanks to a 3-0 win over ten-men Augsburg in their last outing.

That win, coupled with Bayern Munich’s 3-1 loss at home to RB Leipzig, means that Edin Terzic’s men can become the German champions for the first time in eleven years if they win this game against Mainz.

So it’s all or nothing for BVB, who will do all they can to ensure they end Bayern’s dominance and secure their ninth Bundesliga title.

Their home form ahead of this game makes them the favourites for a win here, with their eleven consecutive wins at the Signal Iduna Park their longest home winning streak this century.

Meanwhile, Mainz will look to play the role of title spoilers when they travel to Signal Iduna Park on Saturday.

The 05ers looked like a credible threat to European places recently. Yet a run of four straight defeats, which came after a ten-game unbeaten run of the league, has set them on the path to a tepid end to what seemed a promising campaign.

But Bo Svensson’s ninth-placed Mainz will at least hope to end the season with a win and record their first away win in three attempts.

Meanwhile, Mainz did Dortmund a favour earlier in the campaign by defeating Bayern 3-1, and Bayern will now pray that Mainz will build on a respectable record across their last three trips to Dortmund (W1, D1, L1) and return the favour.

Mainz vs Schalke 04: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Bundesliga returns with European hopefuls Mainz taking on struggling Schalke 04 at Mewa Arena this Friday.

The host’s impressive run of ten Bundesliga games without defeat (W6, D4) was ended last time after a 3-0 loss to Wolfsburg away from home.

That result was the first time Mainz failed to score in a league game since they suffered a 1-0 defeat in the reverse fixture against Schalke in November.

But with a three-point gap from sixth place coming into the round, the visitors will see this as a must-win game if they want to keep their European hopes alive.

Returning to Mewa Arena will undoubtedly give them a big boost as they are unbeaten in six Bundesliga games in front of their own fans (W4, D2), most impressively beating Bayern Munich 3-1 during that run.

Schalke kept their potential relegation away for another game after they secured what could prove to be a crucial 2-1 comeback win against Werder Bremen last time. That result means they have won their last two home games for the first time this season.

The target will be to follow that up with successive league wins across all venues, which they’ve achieved only once this season.

But they have a terrible away record, having won just once away from home this season (D5, L8). Meanwhile, four of the six away games in which they collected points were against opponents in the bottom half of the table at that time (W1, D3). So that’s not a good sign for this Schalke side who, despite improving recent results, come into the round in 17th, albeit now just one point from safety.

Meanwhile, both teams have scored in just two of the last eight head-to-head meetings, while the last two meetings combined produced just one match goal. So we can expect a low-scoring affair here, with under 2.5 goals very likely.

Mainz vs Bayern Munich: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Bayern Munich will travel to Mewa Arena this Saturday to face Mainz in the 29th Round of the 2022/23 Bundesliga season.

After back-to-back draws, Mainz will be desperate to return to winning ways and get their top-six quest back on track. The hosts are loitering just outside the top six but well placed to make a late assault on the Bundesliga table in search of a first appearance in European competition since 2016/17.

They find themselves in a cluster of four sides who harbour realistic hopes of claiming the Bundesliga’s sixth and final European spot, and their aspirations certainly boosted by a nine-match unbeaten league run (W5, D4).

However, head coach Bo Svensson will be worried that all four draws in that run came in their last five games. But having scored in 14 consecutive Bundesliga games (a club record), they will fancy their chances of getting a result here against a Bayern side still finding their feet under Thomas Tuchel.

The former Chelsea boss, who played under Svensskn at Mainz, has lost and won just two of his opening six games at the Bavarian club (D2, L2). His last outing was in the Champions League, where his side were kicked out after a 1-1 draw with Manchester City at Allianz Arena.

When Tuchel arrived, Bayern were on course to win three trophies. But as it stands, they only have the Bundesliga title to fight for, having been kicked out of the DFB Pokal and Champions League.

But no guarantee just being able to focus on the Bundesliga will help them, as their 59-point haul is their worst after 28 games in 11 years.

Playing away from home probably wouldn’t be the Bavarians’ premier pick to improve upon that tally either, not only because they’ve alternated between wins and defeats across their last five away league games (W3, L2) but also because they’ve lost both Bundesliga away games against a Svensson-managed Mainz.

Both sides do not struggle to score goals, so we can expect a BTTS/GG game at Mewa Arena on Saturday.

Mainz vs Borussia Mönchengladbach: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Mainz will welcome Borussia Mönchengladbach to Mewa Arena this Friday for the first game of Round 22 of the 2022/23 Bundesliga season. Both teams come into this tie on the back of massive wins and sitting level on points in the table.

Mainz were involved in one of the feistiest games of recent years last weekend as they took the lead three times in an eventual 3-2 win over Leverkusen in a game that saw 13 cards shown.

They are sitting in ninth position on goal difference, with their visitors the team directly above them. Their poor goal difference is down to their low attacking numbers, as they are the lowest-scoring Bundesliga side in the top ten with 33 goals.

Meanwhile, Borussia Mönchengladbach enter this clash full of confidence after blowing the title race wide open with a 3-2 victory over Bayern Munich last time out.

The Foals are currently sitting six points better off than at the same stage of last season.

As a result, they can provisionally leapfrog Wolfsburg into seventh place with a victory here.

However, playing away isn’t likely to inspire confidence for Daniel Farke’s side as they have picked up just 24% of their points on the road (W1, D4, L5), with only relegation battlers Stuttgart and Schalke winning fewer Bundesliga games on their travels.Despite this, we can expect both teams to score (BTTS/GG) in this game, given their respective home and away forms.
