Prediction published on 03/02/2024, 00:47  by Kennedy Kechula in Bundesliga Predictions

Mainz will seek to boost their Bundesliga survival hopes when they host Werder Bremen next. They arrive for this match sitting 17th in the standings, 12 points behind ninth-placed Bremen. Mainz are second from bottom and are tied on points with bottom-placed Darmstadt. A win will not see them climb out of the red zone but could see them move to within three points of safety. Jan Siewert’s men have won only once all season and have suffered nine defeats. Their eight draws however are the joint most in the league and five have come in the last eight rounds. Die Nullfünfer were defeated 1-0 away to Eintracht Frankfurt last time out.

Werder Bremen thumped Mainz 4-0 in the reverse fixture and will be looking for another huge win. That win in September was their first in this fixture since December 2020. Though they have struggled to win, Ole Werner’s men have fared much better than their soon-to-be hosts. They have accumulated 23 points thanks to six wins and five draws in 19 league outings. Another win here could see Bremen move to within five points of the European places. Die Werderaner haven’t lost any of their last six Bundesliga matches with three ending in victory. They have won back-to-back matches with the most recent being a 3-1 success at home over Freiburg.
