Stadium: Weserstadion (Bremen)
31.01.2025 22:30
Football is a game of momentum, confidence, and execution. When SV Werder Bremen hosts 1. FSV Mainz 05 on 31st January 2025 at 22:30 (GMT+3), history tells us that these meetings rarely disappoint. Over the years, Bremen has had the upper hand, winning 17 of their last 35 encounters, while Mainz has managed just 11 victories. Yet, past dominance means nothing when two teams meet in the heat of Bundesliga action.
Bremen comes into this match without a win in their last five, a worrying trend that leaves their supporters questioning if they can break the slump. Meanwhile, Mainz looks sharper, claiming three wins in their last five, including a convincing victory over Stuttgart. With both teams desperate for points, the stakes are sky-high. Bremen needs a response after their defensive frailties were exposed in recent games, while Mainz wants to build on their solid form.
Bremen’s attack must fire at home, but their leaky defence remains a concern. Mainz, despite their struggles earlier in the season, has found a rhythm. I think this game will be decided by fine margins, individual brilliance, or defensive lapses. For defence lapse, I forsee a lot hence BTTS is my prediction.

Bremen's season has been a rollercoaster, but right now, they find themselves in a nosedive. With no wins in their last five, their form has alarm bells ringing. Defensively, they've been fragile, conceding 12 goals in their last five matches. The attacking unit hasn't been much better, struggling for consistency.
The 2-2 draw at Dortmund showed resilience, but the 0-2 home loss to Augsburg exposed their issues again. If they can exploit Mainz's weaknesses at the back, Bremen could rediscover their scoring touch. Playing at the Weser-Stadion should provide some confidence, but their home record against Mainz is underwhelming. If they don’t tighten up, this could be another frustrating outing.
1. FSV Mainz 05
Mainz has found some rhythm at a crucial time. Three wins in their last five suggest a side that’s gaining confidence. Their defence has been solid, keeping three clean sheets in that stretch, while their attack has delivered when needed. The 2-0 win over Stuttgart was particularly impressive, as they controlled the tempo and took their chances.
Bo Svensson’s side thrives on discipline and structure. Mainz’s last visit to Bremen ended in a 4-0 loss, so they’ll be eager to rewrite that script. This is an opportunity for Mainz to push further away from the relegation scrap. If they stay organized, they can frustrate Bremen.

Expert Betting Tips
This game has the feel of a high-scoring affair, given Bremen’s defensive issues and Mainz’s growing confidence in attack. Bremen, despite their struggles, is capable of hurting teams, but their biggest issue is maintaining control for 90 minutes. Mainz is disciplined, patient, and capable of punishing defensive errors.
I anticipate an intense battle in midfield, where Bremen must dictate play to stand a chance. Mainz will likely sit back, absorb pressure, and hit on the counter. If Bremen gets an early goal, this could turn into an open contest. But if Mainz strikes first, Bremen could collapse.
