Werder Bremen vs Mainz Prediction 31 January 2025

🔊 Will Werder break their losing streak? As part of the 20th round of the German Bundesliga, a match will take place in which the team from Bremen will host Mainz. Both teams are in the upper part of the standings and have good chances to secure a spot in the European competitions zone by the end of the season. However, Werder has significantly slowed down, earning only two points in the previous four rounds. Our editorial team has already assessed the hosts' chances of securing a long-awaited victory and shared their prediction.

📊 H2H

In head-to-head meetings, Werder is slightly ahead, having won five times in the last ten matches. Mainz, on the other hand, has managed to win four times during this period. But if we look at the statistics over the past two years, the "green-whites" have a solid advantage with three wins out of four games and one draw. So, you can bet on Werder not losing.

🟢 Werder

The "Bremen" team plays boldly, which often rewards them. Werder is in ninth place in the Bundesliga standings, despite a negative goal difference (33:36). However, at the beginning of the season, this style worked significantly better for the team than it does now. In the last four rounds, the "green-whites" have only earned two points, conceding at least two goals in each match.

An important factor in the club's rough patch is the significant list of injured players. Werder's infirmary includes defenders Agu and Malatini, midfielder Opitz, and forward Topp, while another central player, Stage, will miss the next round due to suspension.

🔴 Mainz

The first half of the season for Mainz was above all praise. The team is currently in sixth place in the Bundesliga, with one of the best defensive records in the league (23 goals conceded). Only Bayern (16) and St. Pauli (21) have conceded fewer. With such a disciplined defensive line, even the giants of German football struggle: Bayer, Bayern, and Borussia Dortmund have only managed to score one goal each in recent matches against Mainz.

Injuries are not a major problem for the club this season, and currently, only midfielder Vidovic and forward Burkardt are listed in the "zero-fifths" infirmary.

⚽️ Prediction on Goals

Mainz's defensive stability is truly impressive, with few managing to score more than one goal against them. And Werder, currently in a semi-disassembled state, is unlikely to join this exclusive club. Therefore, our editorial team recommends betting on Werder's individual total goals under 1.5.

🚩 Prediction on Corners

In their last three away matches, Mainz has delivered fewer than four corners. Meanwhile, an average of only 4.2 corners are delivered at Werder's goal per game. Based on this statistic, we advise betting on Mainz's individual total corners under 4.5.

📝 Match Prediction

Despite Werder's poor results in recent matches, it's too early to chalk up another defeat for the hosts. At their home "Weserstadion," these guys have suffered only three defeats in nine games, indicating potential challenges for upcoming guests. We believe that the upcoming match could end in a 1-1 draw.

However, what "Bremen" will definitely face are difficulties in creating scoring opportunities. Mainz is incredibly reliable in defense and concedes very little by the standards of such a high-scoring championship as the Bundesliga. Therefore, as a key bet, we will focus on Werder's individual total goals under 1.5.
