"Borussia Dortmund had a disappointing 2024-25 season as they ended up a lowly fourth in the Bundesliga table. Dortmund were never in the title race, and the aim for Niko Kovac's side this season is to win the title. Die Schwarzgelben are very much in the race for the Bundesliga title this season. Die Borussen are second in the Bundesliga table at the moment with 48 points from 21 matches, six points behind leaders and defending champions Bayern Munich."
"Borussia Dortmund are likely to line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation against Mainz. Gregor Kobel will be in goal and will have Niklas Sule, Waldemar Anton and Nico Schlotterbeck in front of him in defence. Julian Ryerson, Jobe Bellingham, Felix Nmecha and Daniel Svensson will be deployed in midfield. Julian Brandt and Maximilian Beier will be the two attacking midfielders. Serhou Guirassy will lead the line for Dortmund."
"Mainz are a modest club in Germany whose main objective is to stay in the Bundesliga. Die Nullfünfer finished 13th in the league table in the 2023-24 season and did extremely well in the 2024-25 campaign as they ended up sixth. Urs Fischer's side are not having the best of times at the moment. Mainz currently find themselves 14th in the Bundesliga table with 21 points from 21 matches, two points above third-from-bottom Werder Bremen."
Borussia Dortmund sit second in the Bundesliga with 48 points from 21 matches, six points behind leaders Bayern Munich. Dortmund have won recent league games 2-1 at Wolfsburg and 3-2 against Heidenheim, following a 2-0 Champions League defeat by Inter Milan. The expected Dortmund lineup is a 3-4-2-1 with Gregor Kobel in goal; Niklas Sule, Waldemar Anton and Nico Schlotterbeck in defence; Julian Ryerson, Jobe Bellingham, Felix Nmecha and Daniel Svensson in midfield; Julian Brandt and Maximilian Beier in attacking midfield roles and Serhou Guirassy leading the attack. Mainz occupy 14th with 21 points and aim to avoid relegation.
