Borussia Dortmund hosts Mainz in round 16 of the German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, January 16th at Signal Iduna Park (Dortmund)
The change of Lucien Favre (beloved by the Dortmund audience) to the young Terzic looked unexpected and served as a kind of shock therapy for the team. Then Borussia showed weak results, and the coaching staff could not get out of the crisis. The new mentor managed to shake up the club, which is now entrenched in 4th place in the standings. Borussia is five points behind leading Bavaria. Borussia's squad allows it to talk about the champion’s ambitions, especially given a good enhancement this year – the bosses signed contracts with Meunier, Can, Billingham, and Reiner. The leaders of the team (Halland, Hummels, Reina, Sancho, Reus, and Guerreiro) are now in great shape. The main young talents of Dortmund (Reina, Mukoko, Zagadou, and Bellingham) have great prospects.

An outsider and the main contender for parting with the elite is holding a terrible season. Mainz has been balancing on the edge of the relegation zone for several years now, and the current championship may become the apogee of the club's torment. Mainz takes the last line in the standings - only one victory in 15 matches, six points scored, and a seven-point gap to the saving place. At the beginning of January, Bo Svensson, a young Danish specialist, was appointed to the coaching post to save the team. The new mentor will have to work with a distressed team and a limited human resource. There are practically no football players in Mainz who can become the driving force for this drowning locomotive. Mateta, Niakhate, Quaison, and Juste - these are all the worthwhile performers in the club.
In this pair of opponents, the favorite is obvious. Terzic's players have gained good momentum in the local championship. They regularly win victories and show high-level football. We would also like to note Halland's performance (12 goals scored in the Bundesliga). Mainz now resembles a terminally ill patient in agony. Svensson is unlikely to be a savior for the visitors, who are likely to suffer a major defeat in the upcoming match.
Prediction for the match: Borussia Dortmund to win with -1.5 handicap
