Mainz 05 vs Werder Bremen Prediction

Mainz 05 Form

Mainz 05 have been a little inconsistent recently, as they beat Borussia Moenchengladbach by 3-4. Following that up proved too difficult, as they lost 3-4 against Bayer Leverkusen, before achieving a 0-1 win against Schalke 04. Mainz 05 didn't manage a single win in any of their previous six Bundesliga games at the MEWA Arena. They have a record of one draws and five defeats, in which they conceded 15 and scored eight goals.

Mainz 05 are among the title candidates in the Bundesliga again this season, and first place is still within reach.

Werder Bremen Form

Werder Bremen are unbeaten in their previous three matches, winning 3-2 against Augsburg, before recording a 2-2 draw with Borussia Dortmund. Another draw followed then, this time 2-2 against Paderborn. Werder Bremen didn't manage a single away win in their last six Bundesliga matches, but managed three draws, while suffering three defeats. They conceded 12 and scored six goals themselves.

Ambitions are high for Werder Bremen, and winning the title is still possible, but they need to raise their level to achieve the highest prize.

Bookmakers have Mainz 05 down as rather big favourites for the win against Werder Bremen. While it might prove a bit more troublesome than odds suggest, we find it equally tempting to side with the hosts.

Mainz 05 have taken three points from their last two games against teams from the top half of the Bundesliga table. They won one of these matches with a scoreline of eight goals to four. Mainz 05 only drew once so far this season after six games played, in stead recording three wins and two defeats in the Bundesliga. Werder Bremen are looking at two wins, three draws and one defeat in the Bundesliga.
