FSV Mainz 05 and Werder Bremen meet in completely different states. The hosts closed out their last match with a 1-0 win, taking three points without conceding, while the visitors drew 2-2 in their last game and are still without a win in 3 straight matches. Mainz score consistently at home, but their defence also has off days, like the match they lost 3-4. Bremen, for their part, score in every game but also concede in every game; their defence is not steady enough to shut out opponents for the full match, so the game is more likely to be a trade of punches in midfield than either side sitting back and waiting. The first thing to watch after kickoff is how high Mainz press, because if the hosts open with heavy attack from the start, Bremen will have space to counter, and that is the way the game is likely to unfold.
