Command Analysis

Werder Bremen

Current form
After the Christmas break, Werder noticeably slowed down and did not win a single game in the last four rounds – two draws and two defeats. The break clearly knocked the team out of rhythm. Let us recall that in December they managed to produce a series of four victories – three in the Bundesliga and one in the Cup. It is characteristic that now the Bremen team is losing points both with strong opponents and with teams from the lower part of the table. We can recall the draw with Heidenheim (3:3), the defeat from Augsburg (0:2).
In the table after 19 rounds, Ole Werner team occupies ninth place, having scored 27 points. At the same time, taking into account the latest failures, the gap from the European Cup sixth place, where today opponent Mainz is located, has reached four points. From the point of view of the fight for tickets to the European Cups, the upcoming match is of great importance for Werder .
During the season, the team taught its fans that it performs much better away than at home. At home, the musicians scored only ten points, while away – 17 points. Werder played their last match away against Borussia Dortmund and drew with an opponent in decline (2:2). In that match, the Bumblebees were left with ten men in the 21st minute with the score 0:0, but managed to score twice, after which the Bremen team finally got even.

Mainz 05

Current form
Mainz has proven itself to be a real terror for the authorities throughout the season. The Carnival players have already managed to take points from Eintracht, Bayern, and Borussia Dortmund. In the previous round, they managed to beat Stuttgart on their home field (2:0), and the victory was quite deserved, it cannot be said that the team was lucky, once again they managed to clearly realize the created moments - two of the four shots on target ended in goals.
Thanks to the victory over the Swabians, Bo Henriksen team broke an unpleasant series of two defeats in a row against Bayer (0:1) and Union (1:2). Mainz has 31 points and is in provisional sixth place in the table. Moreover, there is a chance to fight for the fourth place, since Stuttgart and Leipzig are ahead by only one point.
Mainz recently signed a contract with Montpellier French striker Arnaud Norden. The player should strengthen the attacking potential of the Carnival players.
It should be noted that Mainz has been performing well away from home this season, with 14 points. It is noticeable that the team is comfortable playing second fiddle, clearly using counterattacks. They have managed to score 19 goals away from home in nine matches played.

The upcoming match is of great importance for the opponents in terms of the fight for a place in the European Cups next season. Werder has an advantage in personal meetings, having won three head-to-head matches in a row. However, after the Christmas break, the musicians noticeably slowed down, and did not win a single match. Plus, the hosts will not have their top scorer Jens Stag today. Mainz won an important victory over Stuttgart in the last round, is distinguished by its clear implementation of moments, and plays successfully in away matches. We think that the guests will be able to interrupt the unsuccessful series in head-to-head matches today.
Our prediction is a victory for Mainz with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 2.15
