Mainz take on the visitors Borussia Dortmund in the round 17 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 25th at Mewa Arena (Mainz).
At the start of the season, Mainz were quite good and even kept a place close to the European Cup zone. But as expected, a decline followed. And right now, the team is fighting for survival. Yes, there are still five points to the relegation zone, but lately Mainz have rarely begun to replenish his piggy bank with points. In the duel against Dortmund, the hosts are also not favorites.

Borussia Dortmund lost the recent two away matches before the start of the championship, but there the rivals were much more serious than Mainz - the players from Wolfsburg and Gladbach. The new year started with a victory over Augsburg. I think the "bumblebees" can continue their successful streak by taking victory in the next match of the Bundesliga.
Yes, the victory in the reverse fixture over Augsburg was taken by the “bumblebees” with difficulty (4-3), but three points were earned and the rest is less important. The ambitions of the wards of Edin Terzic are clearly higher than the sixth line in the table, where the team is right now. Only two points separate Dortmund from the second line, the entire struggle for medals and a place in the Champions League zone is ahead. Losing points is undesirable even in away matches against teams from the second part of the table. And even more so to lose to them. Mainz have recorded draws twice in the previous two rounds, and before that they had a series of three defeats in a row. In the last two home matches of the championship, they took only one point. Yes, away matches are Borussia's weak point this season. But nevertheless, the “bumblebees” already have three victories on opponents’ fields (over Hertha, Freiburg and Eintracht). We should also note that Dortmund took three victories in three previous head-to-head matches against Mainz, two of those were exactly on the road.
Prediction for the match: Borussia Dortmund to win with 0.0 handicap.
