Mainz vs Werder Bremen Soccer Betting Picks – Bundesliga
Far from his hopes at the start of the season, Mainz quickly got into difficulty in this championship. Indeed, the Rhenish club occupies a very poor 17th place in the standings with only 6 points taken during the first 12 days and is already 4 points behind the first non-relegation. Since their only success of the season obtained against Friborg (1-3), Jean-Philippe Mateta’s teammates then took a point against Hoffenheim (1-1) before losing two games against Arminia Bielefeld (2-1 ) and Cologne (0-1). Finally, Tuesday evening, they were able to bring back a draw from their trip to Berlin against Hertha (0-0)
Werder Bremen, meanwhile, is slowly recovering from a last very difficult exercise after which they avoided the descent during the jump-offs. After a few good first performances at the start of the season, the Brêmois clearly dropped off 9 games without a win including 4 defeats in the last 4 days. Lately, Florian Kohfeldt’s men have been defeated by Wolfsburg (5-3), Stuttgart (1-2), Leipzig (2-0) and Borussia Dortmund (0-2) on Tuesday night and therefore only have 11 points on the counter after 12 days.
