Team News

Borussia Dortmund
Mainz
  • Wunderkind striker Erling Haaland returned with a last-minute winner at the weekend.
  • Marco Reus is back training, but will not be rushed back.
  • Thomas Delaney could miss the rest of the campaign with a muscle injury.
  • Key defender Mats Hummels is available after suspension, so Emre Can may move into midfield, alongside Axel Witsel.
  • Mahmoud Dahoud is out for the season after picking up a knee injury in the season defining defeat to Bayern Munich.
  • Nico Schulz continues to be troubled by a muscle injury, while Dan-Axel Zagadou has already been ruled out for the rest of the campaign.
  • Mainz Head coach Achim Beierlorzer has work to do to stave off relegation.
  • Taiwo Awoniyi suffered a serious concussion and is ruled out.
  • Ridle Baku is available after suspension, but Edimilson Fernandes is on the naughty step after picking up five yellows.
  • The experienced Jeffrey Bruma, on loan from Wolfsburg, only temporarily managed to bolster a brittle back line and could lose his spot.
  • Jeremiah St. Juste may come into a porous defence if he overcomes a knee injury.
  • Ex-Real Madrid striker Ádám Szalai may lose his spot up front to the more mobile Jean-Philippe Mateta.
  • Robin Zentner is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury. Florian Müller will continue in goal.
  • Stefan Bell is available again after seven months out with an ankle problem.

Prediction

  • A battle of Jürgen Klopp's former clubs as coach.
  • Borussia Dortmund need to win to keep the title race alive, though it could be in vein, and should easily get the job done against an average Mainz side stumbling into a relegation dogfight.
