Borussia Dortmund faces FSV Mainz 05 in a crucial Bundesliga match on Saturday, May 27, 2023. Dortmund needs a win to keep their top-four hopes alive, while Mainz is fighting to avoid relegation.
Mainz Strives To Avoid Relegation
Mainz is currently 16th in the Bundesliga table, just one point above the relegation zone. A win over Dortmund would give them a much-needed boost in their fight for survival. However, Mainz will be without several key players due to injury and suspension.
