Why English Premier League Games Are Very Difficult To Predict

3y ago

Slowly springing back to life, Borussia Dortmund have won their previous two games on the bounce. The return of star striker Erling Haaland has helped the team’s cause – the Norwegian scoring two goals since returning from injury in the New Year.

Meanwhile, Mainz are having a stinker in the Bundesliga so far, and are rooted to the bottom of the standings. Things have been so bad for Die Nullfunfer that they have recorded only one win from 15 matches. Now, the question is… Can things get any worse for Heidel’s men? Time will tell.

Borussia Dortmund vs Mainz Team News

Once again, Dortmund are watching the Bundesliga title slip away from their grasp as they remain some way off the summit after fifteen games. The club faithful are growing increasingly frustrated at the lack of silverware at the club in recent years.

It seems there couldn’t be a better time for Dortmund to wrestle their bitter rivals Bayern Munich for the league title. Their squad is well-stacked with a flurry of world-class talents including Haaland, Sancho, Hazard, among others.

You get the feeling that these youngsters will seek new pastures should Die Borussen’s trophy draught continue any longer than this season. Knowing this, the club are desperate to land some piece of silverware – and are challenging on three fronts.

Already five points off the top, it will take something outside of the ordinary for Terzic’s men to mount any serious title challenge. But in the game of football, you cannot rule anything out, and Dortmund might just muster a miracle.

Back in their groove, Dortmund comfortably swept RB Leipzig aside last time out, posting a 3-1 win on the board. Taking on basement club Mainz this weekend, Der BVB have a golden opportunity of stretching their winning streak to three on the trot.

It’s pretty disturbing to see such an established Bundesliga outfit in Mainz languishing at the root of the standings, with only six points to their name. Seven points deep in relegation waters, it will take a miracle-of-sorts for the 05ers to escape the drop.

Alongside Schalke 04, Mainz have picked up only one win this season. They have lost their last three games, succumbing to another defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt last time out. With literally no buzz in Die Nullfunfer’s camp, we cannot picture them salvaging a result from this contest.

Injured or Suspended Players

Borussia Dortmund: Marcel Schmelzer, Thorgan Hazard and Axel Witsel.
Mainz: No injuries or suspensions.

Dortmund vs Mainz Predictions

Having won back-to-back league games, Die Borussen will be in high-spirits, and raring to return to the pitch again this weekend. With struggling Mainz standing in their way to victory, we expect the 05ers to be easily swept aside.

Haaland is back in Dortmund’s fold and the striker will likely prove to be a nuisance to the opposition, who cannot get a win to save their lives. Here, we are counting on Die Borussen to walk all over Heidel’s charges to roar to victory.
