Mainz 05 have been on a great run and the 1-1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt not only moved them closer to survival but also did Borussia Dortmund a huge favor in their chase for Champions League football. Dortmund will be visiting Mainz in the next round, in a clash of two in-form sides. Mainz have 36 points in 12th place while Dortmund, placed fourth, have 58 points. Mainz have in their recent matches proven they can take on the giants and needing just two points to confirm their survival, a game against Dortmund doesn’t sound too intimidating, the visitors’ form notwithstanding. They are unbeaten in nine league matches and among the five wins in that run, was a 2-1 victory over Bayern Munich, which delayed the champions’ title celebrations. They are unbeaten in their last four home league matches and in the last seven, they have one loss and four wins.

Borussia Dortmund won the DFB Cup on Thursday, beating Leipzig and will be fired up for this game as they seek points to consolidate fourth place. Mainz did them a favor in holding Eintracht Frankfurt in the last game and now they will be hoping to take three points off them and be the first team to beat Mainz in 10 matches. Dortmund are struggling to keep clean sheets but are free scoring and head to this clash on the back of six straight wins across all competitions. In Bundesliga action, Dortmund have five straight wins ahead of this game. They’ve scored at least two goals in each of the matches, and kept two clean sheets in their last seven league games. With Eintracht Frankfurt behind by just a point, this is a must win game for Dortmund as far as their Champions League hopes are concerned. In the last five away league games, Dortmund’s only loss was against Bayern Munich but even then, they managed two score twice, like in each of the other four.
