Relegation is very close for Mainz. The team is currently in 12th place in the table and two games before the end of the season it is five points behind the relegation place. With a win against Borussia Dortmund, Mainz would no longer be able to take away the league.
The last games are the reason for the good starting position. The team around coach Svensson has been unbeaten for nine games and was also able to score points against opponents like Frankfurt or Bayern. This Sunday will show whether there is anything against BVB again.
The game will start at 6:00 p.m. and will take place in the Opel Arena in Mainz.

Will Mainz win against BVB?
Things are also going well for Dortmund at the moment. After a long time it looked as if Borussia would miss the Champions League this season, the situation has now changed. Borussia are currently fourth in the table and have won all of the last five games, including the top game against RB Leipzig on the last day. Now it is possible to reach the premier class on your own. A win against Mainz is absolutely necessary for that.
Because Frankfurt is close on BVB's heels and only has one point less on the account. In addition, Eintracht has the supposedly easier opponents with the teams from Schalke and Freiburg. A win would also be important to put pressure on Wolfsburg, who have two points more than BVB and play against Leipzig this Sunday.
BVB's strong offensive gives hope. Borussia have scored a total of 69 goals this season - the best in the league after Bayern Munich. The team from Dortmund have always scored at least two goals in the last five games. It is also positive that striker Erling Haaland can be used again after his thigh injury. The Norwegian provides plenty of offensive power and has already scored 16 goals away from home.
For this reason, the Terzic team is also the favorite in this duel. Both teams separate 22 points. However, Mainz should not be underestimated, as recent games have shown. Mainz's last defeat was two and a half months ago.
Reaching the premier class would also be important for BVB in order to be able to keep Haaland. Again and again there are rumors about the top striker. Meanwhile, Oliver Kahn has ruled out a move to Bayern. "A package that [...] costs more than 100 million euros is currently unthinkable for FC Bayern." In addition to the Munich team, however, teams such as Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid are also interested in the striker. Should BVB reach the Champions League, a move to another club in the summer is considered very unlikely.
