Werder Bremen vs Mainz 05 Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 2nd September 2023

The Bundesliga clash at Wohninvest WESERSTADION this coming Saturday sees Werder Bremen hosting opponents Mainz 05.

Werder Bremen have nothing to show for the first couple of matches in the Bundesliga and going into this round three they will be eager to get off the mark.

Mainz 05 are looking at a potential miserable opening to the new Bundesliga season. With just a single point so far, losing this round three game as well, and crisis looms already.

Werder Bremen only average a modest 1.1 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament, in which they scored 11 goals. They also conceded 19 for an average of 1.9 per game. They weren't able to keep their opponents from scoring even once.

Mainz 05 hit the target 13 times in the last ten outings, which creates an average of 1.3 goals a game. They conceded 2.4 goals per match for a total of 24 goals, while claiming zero clean sheets as well.

It was an enormously entertaining 2-2 match, when these two sides last played each other. A similar feast of goals would go down well this coming Saturday.

Werder Bremen vs Mainz 05 Prediction

Werder Bremen Form

Werder Bremen have had to endure a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 3-2 by Viktoria Koln 1904, before Bayern Munich ran out 0-4 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Freiburg, who came out 1-0 winners. Werder Bremen didn't manage a single win in any of their previous six Bundesliga games at the Wohninvest WESERSTADION. They have a record of one draws and five defeats, in which they conceded 14 and scored six goals.

A top half finish is the dream for Werder Bremen, but neutral spectators have them down for a season in the lower end of the Bundesliga.

Mainz 05 Form

In their previous three matches, Mainz 05 beat Elversberg 0-1, lost 4-1 against Union Berlin and drew 1-1 with Eintracht. In their last six Bundesliga away matches, Mainz 05 failed to win more than once. In stead, they've drawn two and lost three, scoring seven while also conceding 13 times.

Mainz 05 naturally hope for a a top half position come reckoning day next spring, but experts foresee a tough battle ahead in the lower regions of the Bundesliga.

It seems both Mainz 05 and Werder Bremen have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues this coming Saturday, and we are rooting for goals.
