SV Werder Bremen vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction: Bundesliga Match on 09.03.2024

Key Highlights

Can Bayern Munich Reignite their Push for the Title in the Run-In?

Thomas Tuchel’s Bayern Munich has not been in their usual high-standard form in recent matches in the Bundesliga.

They have won twice, drawn once, and lost twice in their last five outings. The two back-to-back losses doubled their defeats this season to four and three draws, which means that they trail league leader Bayer Leverkusen by 10 points after 24 rounds of fixtures with 10 matches remaining this season.

They will look to bounce back to winning ways and regain their consistency as they prepare for a run-in looking to close a ten-point lead if they are to win the Bundesliga.

Can Mainz Escape the Drop Zone with a Shock Win Away to Bayern?

Mainz have been in wretched form this season. They have won just two matches and drawn a whopping ten matches. They have collected 16 points from 24 rounds of fixtures.

In their last five outings, they have won once, drawn twice, and lost twice, collecting five points out of the available 15.

The focus for Mainz at the Allianz Arena on Saturday will be damage limitation. They will look to be competitive, robust, and aggressive in their approach. A pragmatic approach will keep them in the game for as long as possible, looking for an opening to create and take chances.
