Werder Bremen

FSV Mainz 05

Under 2.5 Match Goals

Reason for tip

Under 2.5 goals looks the best bet when Werder Bremen host Mainz. Recent head-to-heads have been cagey, with three of the last four staying below the line. Mainz are the Bundesliga’s biggest under team, with 12 of their 25 games landing under 2.5. Neither side is in free-scoring form, so another low-key contest is likely.

Werder Bremen 1-0

Reason for tip

Werder Bremen 1-0 is the correct-score call. They tend to edge this matchup, winning three of the last four meetings by a single goal, and Mainz games often see one side blank. Six of the last eight head-to-heads have featured at least one team failing to score. With Mainz also struggling to turn draws into wins, a narrow home success fits.

Three of the last four Bundesliga meetings between Werder Bremen and Mainz have stayed under 2.5 goals, and there is a good chance Sunday’s game at Weserstadion will follow suit. There have been under 2.5 goals in 12 of Mainz’s 25 league games this season.

Werder Bremen are two places above Mainz in the table, but both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season. The hosts sit 13th with six wins and 12 defeats, while Mainz are 15th with five wins and 11 losses.

Werder Bremen have conceded an average of just 0.50 goals a game in their six Bundesliga home games against other bottom-half teams this season, while Mainz have scored an average of 1.00 goal a game in their 11 such games, but have failed to win nine of them.

Werder Bremen have been in patchy form recently, with two wins, one draw and three defeats in their last six Bundesliga games. Mainz are hard to beat – they have avoided defeat in six of their last seven – but they have gone four games without winning. Two weeks ago Werder Bremen were 2-0 winners over Heidenheim in their last home game.

No team has played more Bundesliga games with under 2.5 goals than Mainz this season, with 12 of their matches staying low-scoring.

A narrow 1-0 win for Werder Bremen looks the most likely outcome. They have won three of the last four Bundesliga games against Mainz by a single goal and, while the last clash between these pair ended 1-1, at least one of them failed to score won in six of the last eight.
