Match Prediction: Mainz vs. Werder Bremen
Mainz has not achieved a home victory for a long time, yet the team strives to play actively up front and scores regularly. In their last 17 home Bundesliga matches, the club failed to score in only four instances, and in ten of those games, they scored at least twice. However, Mainz has not kept a clean sheet in their last nine home league matches.
Werder Bremen also plays in a similar style – they have no issues with scoring but struggle defensively. In their last nine away Bundesliga encounters, the club failed to score only once, which happened in a match against Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, Bremen conceded in 6 of their last 7 away league matches, with a total of 14 goals scored against them in this period.
I believe both opponents will effectively showcase their attacking abilities. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
