By the time Mainz faces Dortmund, they may already be assured of finishing outside the automatic relegation places depending on the outcome of Koln's match against Union.
However, they will still be eager to avoid the relegation playoff and maintain their strong home form, having won three of their last four matches in front of their home crowd.
Unfortunately for Mainz, their recent encounters with Dortmund at the Mewa Arena have been challenging, with seven losses in their last eight home matches (D1) since a 2-0 victory in September 2014.
Dortmund will come into the weekend in high spirits after securing a place in the Champions League final for the third time in their history with a 2-0 aggregate win over Paris Saint-Germain.
Despite their recent success in Europe, Dortmund has fallen short of expectations in the Bundesliga, currently sitting in fifth place with 60 points from 32 matches, three points behind the top four.
With the Bundesliga securing an additional Champions League place, Dortmund has already guaranteed their spot in next season's competition. However, they will still aim to break into the top four and avoid their worst league finish since the 2014-15 season when they ended in seventh place.
