Bundesliga Preview: Dortmund to make a stand against Mainz

Odds and preview of the Bundesliga weekend

The Bundesliga is well and truly at the business end of the season now.

Last weekend’s match between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund was more ‘Das Ungluck’ – the disaster, than ‘Der Klassiker’ for BVB.

But now they are back to being the chaser which could suit them. They face Mainz this weekend, while the other stand-out ties are Wolfsburg’s trip to RB Leipzig and Bayern’s away day at Fortuna Dusseldorf.

Off the pitch, Borussia Monchengladbach announced RB Salzburg’s Marco Rose as their new manager for next season – which looks a real statement of intent.

Back to the present, and we have all the tips and odds to sink your teeth into, starting at Signal Iduna Park as Dortmund host Mainz…

Borussia Dortmund v Mainz (Saturday 5.30pm BT Sport 3)

The BlackYellow suffered a humbling 5-0 defeat to big rivals Bayern on Saturday, which has dented their title charge.

But with the gap only a single point, a win at 2/7 would see them return to the top and put pressure on the Bavarians.

Raphael Guerreiro’s industry was missed last time out and his fitness could be key here. If available, the versatile winger could line-up alongside Marco Reus and Jadon Sancho in the attack.

A repeat of the 2-1 victory for Der BVB earlier in the season is 15/2. Reus to score in a home win is 21/20.
