Borussia Dortmund enters this match with a strong home record and impressive offensive statistics. Averaging 1.79 goals per game and maintaining a possession rate of 61.96%, they are formidable at controlling the game. Their ability to score, highlighted by a 66.67% rate of matches with over 2.5 goals, makes them a constant threat.
Mainz 05, on the other hand, has shown resilience with a solid defensive record, conceding only 1.04 goals per game. Their possession rate of 48.64% suggests a more counter-attacking approach, which could be effective against Dortmund's aggressive style.
Head-to-head statistics favor Dortmund, who have historically performed well against Mainz. However, Mainz's recent form and tactical discipline could pose challenges for the home side.
Tactically, Dortmund is expected to leverage their high possession and attacking depth, while Mainz will likely focus on defensive solidity and quick transitions.
