Werder had a great chance to secure a place in the top 6, but the team had a bad start to the new year, gaining only 2 points in 4 rounds. At the moment Werder is in 9th place, 4 points behind the European Cup zone, so there are still chances, but the situation needs to be corrected now.
Mainz is very successful this season, the team is in 6th place, although everyone is used to seeing them in the fight for survival in the Bundesliga. Mainz scored 9 points in the last 5 rounds, and beat Stuttgart and Eintracht, who are in the top-4 of the Bundesliga.
There is no clear favourite today, as Werder at home very rarely wins matches (only 2 wins in 9 games at the Weserstadion), and Mainz is an extremely difficult opponent, who are no less motivated for points. Both teams show good performance, scoring and conceding a lot, so let's bet on goals.
Prediction: both teams to score. We recommend the “BTTS - Yes” bet, odds 1.62
