Football prediction Dortmund vs Mainz: Dethroning Bayern Munich

The focus of the final round of the 2022/23 Bundesliga season is the championship race between Dortmund and Bayern Munich. Dortmund has the advantage with 2 more points than its opponent (70 compared to 68). However, coach Edin Terzic and his students lost the secondary index. This means that the yellow-black team must win the final match to ensure they keep the top spot and be crowned champions.

This task is not difficult for the home team Signal Iduna Park. They play at home and are in very impressive form. Dortmund took advantage of Bayern Munich's slump to break away, after a series of 7 consecutive unbeaten matches with 5 wins.

Football prediction Dortmund vs Mainz: Dethroning Bayern Munich - 1 — Dortmund are very close to winning the Bundesliga title.

Notably, in Dortmund's last 4 victories, coach Terzic's players scored at least 3 goals against their opponents. The attacking form helps the black and yellow team confidently aim for the championship. The home team at Signal Iduna Park just needs to be focused and cautious before the final challenge.

Mainz have no motivation this season. The visitors are content to stay in the middle of the table and it seems that coach Bo Svensson and his players "gave up their guns" a few rounds ago. Mainz entered the match against the top team after suffering 4 consecutive defeats against Wolfsburg, Schalke, Frankfurt and Stuttgart with a total of 13 goals conceded.

Mainz's performances at the end of the season have been in stark contrast to their opponents. It would be no surprise if Dortmund win, perhaps even win by a landslide, in the most important game of the season.

Mainz's form is a concern for Bayern Munich. The defending champions will be rooting for Mainz in the final game as they need Mainz to get a point against Dortmund. That is Bayern Munich's only chance, provided that Thomas Tuchel's team beat Koln in the same match.
