Predicted Borussia Dortmund lineup for Mainz 05 clash

Borussia Dortmund will hope to keep their fine run of form going when they make the trip to Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga this weekend.

Just two games remain before the conclusion of the 2023/24 Bundesliga season, and Borussia Dortmund will be away to Mainz 05 this weekend in a fixture that could play a pivotal role in the relegation battle. Fresh after securing their place in the UEFA Champions League final, the Black and Yellows will be eyeing a comfortable win against a Mainz side battling to avoid relegation.

We could see considerable rotation to the Borussia Dortmund starting XI on Saturday, with several key players in line for a breather after the gruelling PSG tie. Kjell Wätjen appears to be in line for his second first-team appearance, while the likes of Donyell Malen, Youssoufa Moukoko and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens will also hope to play from the start.

Here we look at the predicted Borussia Dortmund lineup for their Bundesliga clash against Mainz 05.

GK: Gregor Kobel - Despite the planned rotation, Kobel is expected to play from the start on Saturday. Following his inspired showing against PSG, the Swiss shot-stopper will hope for a more comfortable evening in Mainz.
