Werder Bremen
Werder Bremen come into this match still looking over their shoulder in the lower half of the Bundesliga table. They are only one point above Mainz and the relegation zone, so this is a hugely important game for them.
The positive thing is that they raised their game in recent weeks, achieving two back-to-back wins, against Heidenheim 2-0 and Union Berlin 1-4 last week.
This game against Mainz and next week's against Wolfsburg are massive relegation games, in which they must remain unbeaten. So far, four of Werder Bremen’s six wins have come at home, where they tend to play a bit better.
Mainz
Mainz’s form, on the other hand, is dipping. They are winless in four Bundesliga matches, with all of their last three ending in draws. They also played a goalless away draw against Sigma Olomouc in Europe last Thursday evening, which shows again that they are not in good form.
Away form is also terrible – only two wins in 12 away matches, with them losing two and drawing three of their last six at away grounds.
Some rotation from the European match is expected, but Mainz's bench is not very deep, and some players may be fatigued.
The Betting Verdict
Recent history heavily favours Werder Bremen. They are unbeaten in their last six Bundesliga duels against Mainz, winning four of them.
Werder Bremen also has some momentum going after winning comfortably two in a row, while Mainz is in poor form and a little tired from the late Thursday away match in Europe.
Here, I would go with Werder Bremen to win at solid odds.
