Werder Bremen vs Mainz Prediction & Betting tips
Understatement or bold goal setting? Which tactic is better, of course, can be disputed. Basically, it shows self-confidence when a club sets high and ambitious goals and is not always satisfied with the smallest success.
But there is a great danger that the words will fly towards you at some point if the team cannot meet the high expectations. This is currently happening at SV Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga.
A week ago, Frank Baumann did not want to completely write off or correct the “Europe” goal. After the debacle of the green-whites at the weekend in the Allianz Arena, coach Florian Kohfeldt now did so bluntly, in which he declared the relegation battle on the Weser.
The two remaining games until Christmas against the direct competitors Mainz and Cologne are trend-setting and should be used to “avoid a situation that could threaten the existence of the company during the winter break”.
Even with the opponents, the pressure after the 0: 4 at home against Dortmund is great and the brief euphoria under Achim Beierlorzer has disappeared just as quickly as it started at the beginning. There is a lot at stake when the two clubs open the 16th game day on Tuesday of this English week.
Between Werder Bremen and Mainz, the prognosis can be dared that a real fight for every inch of lawn will come and that the fine blade will not count. Only those who accept this fight can eventually leave the place as the winner and prevent a possible slide down to relegation place 16. The bookmakers seem to trust the threesome to the hosts.
Kickoff in the Weserstadion under the direction of referee Frank Willenborg is on Tuesday evening at 17:30 p.m.
Werder Bremen:
By now at the latest, the alarm bells should sound for everyone responsible in Bremen. The 1: 6 in Munich was the first significant bankruptcy that the SVW had to accept this season.
After the many unfortunate draws and narrow defeats, which were still reasonably nice to talk about, Bayern’s win is now a clear warning signal.
After Milot Rashica’s leadership and a decent first half, the second round saw no struggle and no belief in the players’ own strengths for the first time. The players on the lawn surrendered more or less to their fate and no longer showed any of the rage that coach Kohfeldt wanted to see after the home defeat against Paderborn.
To make matters worse, Theodor Gebre Selassie was injured, who unfortunately got stuck with his knee in the lawn in the 1-1 goal and will not only miss the remaining two games in calendar year 2019, but also the second half of the season. Michael Lang will replace him on the right defense.
Fortunately, from the perspective of the North German captain Niklas Moisander, he will return to the team and will play against Mainz on Tuesday in the central defense. Otherwise, no changes in the starting XI are expected. Clearer Philipp Bargfrede will be in the squad, if at all. Use from the beginning is not to be expected.
For the home side, it is not just about sending a signal in the relegation battle against a direct competitor, but also about finally making a convincing appearance at home and backing it up with points. At home, the green-whites have been waiting for a win for five games (three losses, two draws), although the performances were usually not that bad.
Werder is second to last in the home table and urgently needs to improve the balance sheet in the Weser Stadium so that the team stays on the bottom line until the winter break and the pressure does not increase.
Mainz:
5-1 in Hoffenheim, 2-1 against Frankfurt – Achim Beierlorzer’s start as head coach of FSV Mainz 05 couldn’t be better, but the run didn’t last long.
After the defeat in Augsburg and at the latest after the 0: 4 debacle at the weekend against Dortmund, the mood of the 05ers is again very sad.
Not for the first time this season, the team suffered a significant bankruptcy. Already against Leipzig (eight) and Bayern (six) there were a dozen goals. No wonder that the guests with 38 conceded booths represent the worst defense in the league and have slipped back into the table.
At least this quickly makes the main problem clear and Beierlorzer knows what he has to work with his protégés. It is doubtful whether improvements can be made in the short time until Tuesday.
Especially because Jeremiah St. Juste, an important player, has to pause because of his fifth yellow card. He may be replaced by Alexander Hack. Stefan Bell has also been missing for a long time and is still in rehab.
Similar to Bremen, Mainz also has personnel concerns in defense and the failures are certainly one reason for the big defensive problems. The 05ers had to concede three goals on average abroad. It is difficult to believe between Werder Bremen and Mainz at the odds for the tip on the guests.
From the remaining two games against the North Germans and at the weekend against Leverkusen, it is now somehow necessary to collect as many points as possible to have a reasonably quiet winter break, in which the basis for relegation should be created.
