FC Mainz will be looking to build on last weekend's outstanding 1-4 victory in Augsburg, when they host high-flying Borussia Dortmund in a key Bundesliga fixture on Saturday afternoon. That success in Augsburg was Mainz's first of the campaign, and was achieved despite playing the final 40 minutes without midfielder Dominik Kohr, who received a red card for a second bookable offence. Prior to that game, Mainz had endured a torrid start to the Bundesliga season, gaining just one point and scoring just one goal in their opening three matches.
Dortmund have enjoyed an excellent start to the season, picking up three wins and a draw from their opening four fixtures, whilst also gaining a highly valuable point from their Champions League trip to Juventus. The form of striker Serhou Guirassy has been central to Dortmund's fine start. The Guinea frontman has four goals from four starts so far, as he looks to build on a fine 2024/25 season that saw him score 15 goals in 29 appearances.

Our 1 Fsv Mainz 05 vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
Overhauling Bayern at the top of the Bundesliga table may be a borderline impossible task this season, but we fully expect Dortmund to push them all the way, whilst comfortably securing second place.
They should certainly have enough quality to do the business on Saturday, as whilst Mainz's victory last weekend was extremely impressive, we're reluctant to read too much into it.
Overall, Bo Henriksen's team have looked poor during the early weeks of the season, so we cannot see being able to live with an in-form Dortmund.
Our prediction for Mainz 05 vs Borussia Dortmund is: Dortmund (-1) to win.
