Werder Bremen vs Mainz Preview and Team News
Werder Bremen Team News
A high-octane clash between two teams who are rather well-matched with each other will take place when Werder Bremen meet Mainz in the Bundesliga.
The home team pays a lot of emphasis in defence, which forces them to be organised when playing out from the back and not giving the ball away cheaply. Bremen, especially at home, can be a tough team to break down in the final third.
With Stage suspended and Agu, Malatini, Topp and Stark sidelined with injury and illness, Bremen may have a challenging time coming to grips with the potential problems posed to them by the Mainz attackers.
Bremen are currently ranked in the ninth spot of the league table with 27 points to their name. Their sole intention by the end of the season is to edge closer to the top-six of the league table.
Werder Bremen predicted lineup vs Mainz: (3-5-2): Zetterer; Jung, Friedl, Veljkovic; Kohn, Schmid, Lynen, Bittencourt, Weiser; Ducksch, Grull.
Mainz Team News
Mainz, who have a slight advantage by virtue of being ranked higher up the table than their opponents, will want to utilise this to the fullest.
At the moment, they are perched upon the sixth spot of the table with 31 points inside their bag. Their sole aim will be to qualify for the Champions League next season, which they can achieve with the unique diamond formation they use with striker Weiper operating up front.
However, Weiper is a doubtful starter in this game with an injury, which means that others in the reserves will have to step up in his place.
Manager Bo Henriksen will also be worried by the fact that the likes of Burkardt, da Costa, Vidovic and Jenz are among some of the other players who will not be able to make it. Their 2-0 win over Stuttgart will give Mainz the confidence to travel to this game and take Bremen by surprise.
Mainz predicted lineup vs Werder Bremen: (3-4-2-1): Zentner; Kohr, Bell, Widmer; Mwene, Amiri, Sano, Caci; Lee, Nebel; Sieb.
Bet hereWerder Bremen vs Mainz Prediction
- Pick: Werder Bremen to win or draw
- Odds: 1.45 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Werder Bremen 2-2 Mainz
Bremen, being the home team, are expected to either win or draw this game. It has to be noted that they are not going through a good run of form and have not won a single game in their last five intentions to do so. In fact, they come into this game on the back of a seemingly harmless 2-2 draw with giants Borussia Dortmund.
Bremen also have a big historical advantage over their opponents, having won or drawn on 17 out of the 27 occasions in which these two teams have met in the past. They even beat Mainz 2-1 in the reverse fixture played away from home in September 2024, and memories of that victory will be fresh in their mind when they step onto the pitch here.
Werder Bremen vs Mainz Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 2 goals
- Odds: 1.37 (22Bet)
A total of over 2 goals will be expected in this game since the quality of attackers in both teams is rather high.
Three out of the last four matches played between these two teams saw a total of over two goals being scored, and we expect the same to happen here as well. Bremen have also seen more than two goals being scored in four out of their last five matches.
Mainz, for their part, are known for their strategic changes of attack, with their wingers inter-changing and confusing the opposition fullbacks with their positioning. They have won three out of the last five matches that they played before coming into this fixture, which also gives them a bit of a good run of form.
