A close contest is expected as Werder Bremen host Mainz in a German Bundesliga clash on Friday night.

The hosts are looking to end a recent difficult run while the visitors are aiming to improve their record on the road. Both teams have quality going forward and look set to serve up goals at Weserstadion.

Werder Bremen Form


Werder Bremen are in the middle of a rough patch at the moment and are winless in their last four Bundesliga matches leaving them ninth in the table, four points off the top six. They have played out two draws in that run and came from behind to earn a 2-2 scoreline at Borussia Dortmund.

Things may appear rough at the moment but Werder Bremen are back home on Friday having done some of their best work at Weserstadion. Ole Werner's team are unbeaten in six of their last seven matches in front of their fans although only three of those fixtures have been wins. 

Werder Bremen have shown some attacking quality and are led by Marvin Ducksch who has seven Bundesliga goals this season including two in the last three matches. However, they are without a clean sheet in their last five matches in the league, all of which have produced over 2.5 goals. 

Mainz Form


Mainz are pushing for a European place and sit sixth in the table, three points clear of the chasing pack. They have put together a string of solid results lately, winning four of their last five Bundesliga matches including a 2-1 victory over Stuttgart in their previous fixture.

Although things have looked decent for Mainz, one of their problems this season is a poor record on their travels. They will head to Weserstadion with three defeats in their last four Bundesliga away matches. 

The shining light for Manz this season is Jonathan Burkhardt who has 12 Bundesliga goals this season and has scored seven times in the last seven matches. However, the defence remains shaky as Bo Henriksen's men have conceded in each of their last four away matches while four of their last five fixtures on the road have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head


It has been four wins each and one draw in the last nine matches between Werder Bremen and Mainz. However, Bremen have won the last three meetings and claimed a 2-1 away victory in the reverse fixture back in September.

Verdict

Werder Bremen and Mainz have much to improve upon and are expected to go for it on Friday. Both teams certainly have plenty of attacking quality in their ranks and with neither defence looking convincing at the moment, there should be goals here.

Seven goals in seven matches means Burkhardt is one of the players in form in the Bundesliga at the moment. The striker should get a few chances on Friday and is expected to continue his scoring run.
