THE LOWDOWN
MAINZ
Mainz’s winless run continued last time out in a brave but fruitless 1-0 defeat away at Eintracht Frankfurt. It’s now only one victory from 18 Bundesliga fixtures which sees them firmly rooted inside the bottom three. The gap between them and 15th-placed Union Berlin is now six points with Mainz having the worst goal difference of the two.
WERDER BREMEN
Werder Bremen will be very happy with the way they played against Freiburg in their most recent Bundesliga encounter, taking the lead early on and despite conceding soon after, going on to triumph after an excellent second half which saw them score twice without reply, winning 3-1. That’s now consecutive victories and six games unbeaten for Werder.

THE PREDICTION
Mainz are in dire need of three points and at home, they really have no choice but to try and push bodies forward and take risks offensively against Werder, even if it leaves them exposed at the other end. This may play into the visitors’ hands, whose attacking threat has seen them find the net in each of their last six games. With that in mind, both teams to score appears to be on the cards.
BETTING TIP: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
