Borussia Dortmund are aiming to win their first Bundesliga title in 11 years this weekend when they meet with Mainz at Signal Iduna Park with the Black and Yellow now sitting two points above Bayern Munich in second place.
RB Leipzig stunned Bayern 3-1 last weekend to hand Dortmund the chance to go top of the table if they defeated Augsburg with just one game left to go.

Sebastien Haller scored twice that day, just as Julian Brandt netted another goal in the game to throw Dortmund to the top of the table.
It’s the first time they have been top in two months and they now come into this game knowing that as long as they can match or better the result of Bayern’s game then they will win the Bundesliga title for the first time in 11 years and end the 11-year stranglehold Bayern have had over the division. The reigning champions meet with Koln away from home.
Dortmund have managed to now score 81 times this season with them also letting in 42 goals.
It has seen them win the most games in the league this season with 22 victories and just four draws, although they have lost seven times.
BVB also beat Borussia Monchengladbach 5-2 before their win over Augsburg and they also managed to defeat Wolfsburg 6-0 before that.
In fact, their only dropped points in the last month came in a 1-1 draw with Bochum.
As for Mainz, it's a relatively pointless game for them now that they sit behind Bayer Leverkusen in sixth by five points.
It means no European football for the club and they can only finish as high as eighth - they currently sit seventh.
Bo Svensson's men did lose 4-1 to Stuttgart last weekend to confirm no European football for them, just as they lost to Eintracht Frankfurt 4-0, Schalke 3-2 and Wolfsburg 3-0 before that.
It means 13 goals let in and just three scored and four defeats in the past four games for Mainz and they have now hit their worst spell in the season at the most important part.
They did, however, defeat Bayern just before this awful run, so fans will be confident in getting all three points to some extent.
Forebet, however, predicts a win for Dortmund and over 2.5 goals in the game and for the Black and Yellow to secure the Bundesliga title.
