Werder Bremen vs FSV Mainz 05 Predictions

• Werder Bremen are winless in their last four league matches
• Mainz have won seven of their last ten matches
• Both teams have scored in five of Werder Bremen’s last six Bundesliga home games

Winless streak to go on for Bremen

Werder Bremen won all four matches in December but they are winless since the turn of the year and their disappointing streak could continue against in-form Mainz on Friday.

Two draws and two losses have seen Werder slip to ninth in the Bundesliga and we predict more misery for the stuttering hosts.

Mainz have won seven of their last ten league matches and are nicely placed in sixth, going into this round of fixtures.

They have won on three of their last four visits to Werder Bremen, and our prediction is for another victory this week, but it may be worth keeping the draw on side.

Expect goals at both ends

Six of the last nine meetings between these two have seen one or both teams fail to score, but it may be wise to expect at least three goals at the Weser-Stadion.

Both teams have scored in five of Werder Bremen’s last six Bundesliga home games and four of their last on home soil have gone over 2.5 goals.

Confidence looks to be low in the Bremen ranks and they may struggle to hold out against a Mainz side who have scored 19 goals in nine away league matches this season.

A 2-1 away win is our prediction for those wanting a correct-score wager.
