FSV Mainz 05 vs Borussia Dortmund

Mainz has only lost one of their last five Bundesliga matches against Borussia Dortmund (2S 2U), but it was their last encounter with BVB (1-3 away in March). However, Mainz has won their last two Bundesliga home games against Dortmund; three consecutive Bundesliga home wins against this club would be a new club record.

Borussia Dortmund are currently undefeated in 12 Bundesliga matches (W10 D2) – the longest streak for BVB since April to October 2023 (17). Since Matchday 27 of the previous season, no other club has collected more points than BVB (32, level with FC Bayern). Furthermore, BVB has lost only one of its last 18 competitive matches (W13 D4) – a 2-3 defeat to Real Madrid at the Club World Cup in July.

1. FSV Mainz 05 are winless in seven Bundesliga home games (D5, L2), the longest streak for FSV since September 2020 to January 2021 (9 at the time). Mainz lost their first two home games this season; three home defeats at the start of a Bundesliga season would equal a club record (same as in 2005/06 and 2020/21).

Borussia Dortmund recently kept a clean sheet for their third consecutive Bundesliga game – the last time BVB achieved such a streak in a single season was in October 2020 (four at the time). That was the last time BVB managed four consecutive wins without conceding a goal, and they could now equal that club record.

Borussia Dortmund recently went into the break with a lead in their ninth Bundesliga game in a row. This streak is a BL record and was previously only achieved by FC Bayern (twice) and 1. FC Köln (once).
