Mainz 05 vs Werder Bremen Prediction

Mainz 05 Form

Mainz 05 have three draws to show from their last three games, as Wehen Wiesbaden held on to a 1-1 draw. Against Union Berlin, the score was 1-1, while their most recent match finished 3-3 against VfB Stuttgart. Mainz 05 won four of their past six matches on home soil in the Bundesliga, where they also drew twice and went undefeated. They scored 15 goals and conceded three times.

Retaining their Bundesliga status and challenging for a top half finish will be on the agenda for Werder Bremen this season.

Werder Bremen Form

In their previous three outings, Werder Bremen won by 1-3 against Energie Cottbus, drew 2-2 with Augsburg, before also drawing 0-0 against Borussia Dortmund. Werder Bremen only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Bundesliga. In these six matches they drew three and lost two as well as being outscored by 11 goals to eight.

A top half finish is the dream target for Werder Bremen, although retaining their Bundesliga status has to be the priority.

We trust neither defence to be able to keep their opponent at bay, when Mainz 05 welcome Werder Bremen this coming Sunday. Goals should be flowing at both ends of the pitch.
