Werder Bremen vs FSV Mainz 05 Predictions

• Werder Bremen have lost five matches in a row.
• Mainz have gone five games unbeaten, picking up 11 points from 15
• Six of the last seven meetings between these two sides have seen over 2.5 goals.

More misery for Bremen?

Werder Bremen and Mainz clash at Weser-Stadion on Wednesday with both sides needing to pick up a win in their efforts to avoid relegation this season.

Werder Bremen have been on an awful run of form in recent weeks, losing their last five matches and falling to 13th, just four point above the relegation zone. Things are getting desperate for the hosts this weekend but they look devoid of any confidence ahead of this game.

Mainz have been the opposite of their opponents this weekend, going five games unbeaten and rising out of the relegation zone as a result. They’ve picked up 11 points from a possible 15 but need to keep their momentum going with just two points keeping them from dropping back into the bottom three.

This fixture has broken the 2.5 goal line in six of the last seven meetings and, with both teams giving it everything to avoid the drop, we think the 2.5 line will be beaten once again in this contest. We’re forecasting a 3-1 win for Mainz as the continue their great escape.
