The gap at the top of the Bundesliga now stands at 7 points which Dortmund has an opportunity to reduce. They take on Bo Svensson’s Mainz in this mid-week fixture.

Mainz has done well this season and despite their loss to Union Berlin in their last game, Dortmund will be wary of a slip-up. A win today will give Die Schwarzgelben a much-needed morale boost to stay in the title race.
