Mainz 05, Recent FormLast time out, Mainz 05 recorded an impressive 3-0 away win against RB Leipzig. They came away from that fixture with 31% of the possession and clocked up 19 attempts on goal with 7 on target. By comparison, RB Leipzig managed 12 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
Their boss Bo Svensson has every reason to be happy with his side's attacking prowess of late, which has seen them net 13 goals in their last 6 matches; however, they may have some work to do in defence with 4 goals conceded across those matches. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 12 games. With just 2 clean sheets in the last 6 matches at home, Svensson will be worried about the defensive frailties within his team of late.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 7 games.
With 5 league goals in 6 games at home in The MEWA Arena, Karim Onisiwo will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Werder Bremen, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Werder Bremen players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 home defeat at the hands of 1899 Hoffenheim. They achieved 57% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against 1899 Hoffenheim's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Ole Werner will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 11 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away games. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 22 of their 26 league matches this season.
Results have been poor for Werder recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table.
Goalscorer Marvin Ducksch will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Werder Bremen.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Mainz 05 that came out on top with a 0-2 win.
As away records go, Die Werderaner have built up a decent scoring streak against Mainz in the league, having scored at least 1 goal in each of their last 7 away meetings. In the previous 2 league encounters between these two teams, Die Werderaner have failed to score a single goal against Mainz. In their past 5 meetings, Die Nullfünfer's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Werder will have to take their chances when they come.
Werder has lost the last 2 times they've faced Mainz in the league.
Mainz manager Bo Svensson has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Jonathan Burkardt (Knee), Brajan Gruda (Bruised knee) and Karim Onisiwo (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Felix Agu (Tendon) and Jiří Pavlenka (Back) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Ole Werner will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
