Match preview

Mainz host Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga on 27 September 2025. Mainz sit 10th on 39 points and Borussia Dortmund are 2nd on 71. Mainz have won 1 of their last 4 (LDLW), while Borussia Dortmund have won 3 of 5 (DWWDW). In their last 1 meetings, Mainz won 0, Borussia Dortmund won 1 and 0 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
