Match Prediction: Mainz vs. Werder
Mainz has struggled to secure victories at home, yet they continue to play actively in attack and frequently find the net. Over the last 17 home matches in the Bundesliga, the club failed to score in only four instances, scoring at least twice in ten matches during this stretch. However, Mainz has not kept a clean sheet in their last nine home league matches.
Werder also plays in a similar style, being efficient in attack but weaker in defense. In their last nine away Bundesliga matches, the club failed to score only once, which happened against Bayern. Meanwhile, the Bremen side has conceded in 6 of their last 7 away league matches, with a total of 14 goals against them during this period.
I believe both teams will effectively showcase their attacking capabilities. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
