Borussia Dortmund vs Mainz 05 – October 16 (Bundesliga)

Borussia Dortmund will be back in Bundesliga action next weekend and a tricky fixture awaits them right off the bat. Mainz 05 have made a fairly strong start to the season and find themselves  in ninth place in the standings, even though they have lost their last two games.

Borussia Dortmund will have close to 70,000 fans at the Signal Iduna Park for this game, in what will be a big boost for the players. But with the team dealing with so many injury problems at the moment, the game against Mainz could prove to be a difficult one.
