Mainz, who are unbeaten in their last five outings in the Bundesliga, will host Werder Bremen on Saturday at the MEWA Arena from 13:30 GMT.
Key Highlights
Mainz are eighth on the Bundesliga table with 40 points, seven behind fourth-placed SC Freiburg. They have collected 11 points from their last five matches, which have bolstered their standing in the chase for European places in the Bundesliga. Bo Svensson will seek to retain his side’s positive form when they host Werder on Saturday.
Werder are eleventh on the Bundesliga table with 31 points, 9 above the relegation zone. They have not won in their last three matches in the league. In their last five outings, Werder have picked up one win, a draw, and three defeats. This poor run of form has them looking nervously over their shoulder in the run-in.
Injury Report
Mainz will miss the services of center-forward Jonathan Burkardt (knee) and center-forward Marlon Mustapha (illness).
Werder will be without right-back Felix Agu. The 22-year-old has been facing fitness issues since January 2, 2023. Agu has missed 11 matches for Werder so far this season.
Prediction
Mainz are in good form and will have the advantage of playing at home; they will win the match and take the three points on offer.
