In their last match, which was on January 25, Borussia beat Mainz with a score of 2 on the road with great difficulty:1. In this match, there was a pretty stubborn struggle between the teams, and therefore it could have turned out that the Dortmund club could well have been left without points. Already in the second minute, Borussia got the ball in their own goal, but the Dortmund club showed character and won back in the fourth minute. From the transfer of Niklas Zule, the ball was sent to the opponent's goal by Julian Ruerson. After that, Mainz and Borussia showed a completely equal game, but for a very long time no one could realize their moments. However, at the very end of the meeting, the bumblebees still scored the winning goal at the expense of the class. At 90 + 3 minutes from the transfer of Sebastian Aller, Giovanni Reina sent the ball into the opponent's goal.
After this match, Borussia scored 31 points and now Edin Terzic's team shares 4-6 places in the standings with Eintracht and Freiburg.
Borussia and Bayer last played against each other on the sixth of August as part of the first round of the Bundesliga. Then the Dortmund club won a minimal victory with a score of 1-0 on its own field.
ForecastIn this match, Bayer is considered a small favorite among bookmakers on its own field.
At the same time, given that both teams can play more for the result, there may not be the brightest game here. We suggest that you bet less than three goals on the total.
