Mainz 05 - Werder Bremen predictions

The online bookies marked Mainz 05 as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Werder Bremen winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

Werder Bremen will have little to hope for in this match. 3.70 betting odds on them winning paint a pretty clear picture and from this standpoint there is little doubt in regard to the outcome of this clash.

A Eintracht Frankfurt defeat is something Mainz 05 want to make a swift return from. This narrow loss from the previous round of the Bundesliga came after a tied first half which had the host believing they might get at least a point in front of their home support.

Werder Bremen played against Freiburg in the previous round on home grounds, with top online bookmakers pricing their victory at 3.16. The scores were still tied at the 45-minute mark, but Werder went on to score several goals in the second half and decisively win.

Mainz’s last five Bundesliga appearances all ended with less than two goals on the final tally. With that in mind, an Under 2.5 Goals market might be something to consider.

The visitors will likely miss the support of having a home-field advantage. Their latest 3 home games were marked by more than 5 goals in total and it remains to be seen what they can do to extend the positive trend away from home as well.

These two squads already clashed this season, and Mainz 05 narrowly lost the bout. With a home-field advantage on their side, however, most bookies believe that they’re more likely to win this time.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Nelson Felix Patrick Weiper, Stefan Bell, Edimilson Fernandes. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Miloš Veljković, Amos Pieper, Mitchell Weiser, Leon Opitz. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

And Under 2.5 Goals bet may not be the obvious choice, but that may be exactly what makes it good. The 888Sport sportsbook is pricing this fixture at 1.98, which offers substantial betting value. It’s not without risks, of course, but it’s statistically an excellent choice.
