Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
After suffering a heavy 4-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund at Signal-Iduna-Park, Werder Bremen will be aiming to put an end to their five-game losing run when they take on Mainz at their Weserstadion. Die Werderaner have been dropping down the standings week by week, and, as a result, they are only four points clear of the relegation zone. Die Nullfunfer proved their worth in a 3-2 win at Koln, and we predict that they will take advantage of Werder Bremen’s poor form.
The likes of Omer Toprak, Niclas Fullkrug, Nick Woltemade, and Luca Plogmann are all out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team. As for away team, all Jonathan Burkardt, Daniel Brosinski, Luca Killian, and Paul Nebel remain in the recovery room. In the previous meeting between the two sides at Weserstadion Mainz crushed Werder Bremen 5-0.
