Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Mainz will be aiming for their first win of the Bundesliga season when they take on Werder Bremen in round 3. After solid performances in consecutive draws against Stuttgart and Union Berlin, Bo Svensson’s men will be confident of building on their form. With home advantage and a nearly full squad, Silvan Widmer being the only absentee, die Nullfunfer are in a good position to push for three points.
Werder Bremen, meanwhile, are still searching for their first points of the campaign. Injuries to Keke Topp, Oliver Burke, and Milos Veljkovic leave them with fewer options, particularly in attack. Their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed in recent matches, and with Mainz proving hard to break down in their opening games, this will be a challenging task for the visitors. Given Mainz’s solid displays and their home advantage, we believe that there is a big value in betting on die Nullfunfer. Taking everything into account, home win looks likely in what should be an intriguing clash.
