Borussia Dortmund, Recent FormIt was just a point apiece for Borussia Dortmund and Augsburg in their last match, which ended in a 1-1 draw. They achieved 64% possession in that match and had 24 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Augsburg's tally of 20 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Their boss Edin Terzić is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 13 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 9 goals scored. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games; however, overall they've scored in 14 of their 15 games this season.
They have had a good run of form at Signal Iduna Park recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
On an individual basis, Niklas Füllkrug will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Borussia Dortmund's last 6 league games.
Mainz 05, Recent FormThe 1-0 home defeat to Heidenheim will not have sat easily with the Mainz 05 squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 65%, while racking up 20 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Heidenheim had 6 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Manager Jan Siewert will be pleased with his team's recent defensive record, having conceded just 3 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have concerns that his team are not scoring many goals, and therefore dropping points. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 12 of their 15 games played.
They've been not been beaten away from home in 5 league games, but with just a single point from each of their last 5 games on the road, the Die Nullfünfer travelling support will be beginning to wonder how long they'll have to wait to see their team win an away fixture again.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 2-2 draw.
From their past 7 away matches in the league against Dortmund, Die Nullfünfer have managed to find the net with at least 1 goal and will be aiming to keep that streak going.
Dortmund have built up an impressive record in the league against Mainz, going unbeaten in their last 6 meetings.
Mainz man Jonathan Burkardt will be out for more of the same in front of goal in this match against Dortmund, having bagged 2 goals in the last 3 encounters between these sides at Signal Iduna Park.
Dortmund manager Edin Terzić has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Karim Adeyemi (Ankle), Julien Duranville (Thigh), Youssoufa Moukoko (Hamstring), Felix Nmecha (Hip), Salih Özcan (Hip), Julian Ryerson (Medial Collateral Ligament) and Marcel Sabitzer (Cold) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Jan Siewert has a number of injury concerns in his Mainz squad to contend with: Edimilson Fernandes (Hip), Josuha Guilavogui (Hamstring), Andreas Hanche-Olsen (Ankle), Maxim Leitsch (Thigh), Nelson Weiper (Knee surgery), Silvan Widmer (Illness) and Robin Zentner (Finger)
