Reason For Borussia Dortmund vs Mainz Betting Tips

• Borussia Dortmund have won three of their last four Bundesliga games under interim manager Edin Terzic.
• Mainz have won just one of their 15 league matches this term, losing 11.
• However, the visitors have managed to score in five of their seven away trips, while the hosts have kept just one clean sheet in their last nine league starts.

Mainz Consolation Can Boost Returns on the Hosts

Borussia Dortmund should comfortably see off basement dwellers Mainz at Signal-Iduna-Park this Saturday afternoon, although it may be worth backing the visitors to notch a consolation in defeat.

Last weekend’s convincing 1-3 success at RB Leipzig was arguably Borussia Dortmund’s best performance of the season to date and Die Schwarzgelben have been resurgent since the departure of Lucien Favre in mid-December.

Dortmund have now won three of their last four starts under interim boss Edin Terzic, who is undoubtedly staking a strong claim to the hotseat at Signal-Iduna-Park on a permanent basis.

Terzic is fancied to bolster his record at the helm this Saturday, with rock-bottom Mainz languishing seven points adrift of safety after just one win and 11 defeats from their 15 Bundesliga games.

The appointment of new manager Bo Svensson will bring renewed optimism to the club, but this represents an extremely tough opening for the Dane as reflected in Mainz’ odds of 12/1 for the win.

That looks way beyond the visitors, however, there is reason to believe that Mainz can get at least get themselves on the score-sheet.

They’ve bagged in five of their seven away trips this term while Dortmund have kept just one clean sheet in their last nine, so all in all a Dortmund win and both teams to score makes plenty of appeal and significantly enhances the price for a home victory alone.

Dortmund are expected to overpower Die Nullfunfer though over the course of the ninety minutes and we’re predicting a facile 4-1 success for the hosts which will keep them within reach of leaders Bayern
