Werder Bremen have been in really bad form lately but they have been really competitive in most of their matches. They are coming off a tough home loss against Bayern Munich and will now look to wash it off when they will host Mainz on Friday. Mainz are coming off a bad loss but have also been quite competitive.

Werder Bremen (5-5-3) were actually really competitive in their home match against Bayern Munich on Saturday. Their opponents took an early lead but Werder Bremen quickly pulled even. They were not very good in the second half and conceded another goal to lose by 2-1. They might have not won any of their last five matches for the Bundesliga (0-4-1) but they have scored in each one. Werder Bremen are sitting at the 9th spot of the Bundesliga with 18 points, just three points off Hoffenheim and the top-six spots. They have not been very good at home either so far (2-3-2), where they have lost each of their last three. At least they have scored in all their home matches so far, but kept just a single clean sheet in the process.
Dusseldorf (2-8-3) turned some heads in their previous match when they came back from two goals behind against Bayern Munich, to hold them to a 3-3 draw on the road. They really tried to bring that momentum into their next match, but they were really unlucky against Mainz. They were much better throughout the whole match but conceded the only goal at the 67th minute to eventually lose by 1-0. Dusseldorf have been quite competitive lately (2-1-2), but are still stuck at the bottom of the league table with 9 points. They have not won on the road yet, but they have been quite hard to beat (0-3-3). But all three losses have been massive, a 0-3 against Nurnberg, a 1-7 against Frankfurt and a 0-3 against Gladbach.

Werder Bremen are consistent scorers, especially at home, but they have a huge problem in keeping clean sheets. Dusseldorf are also conceding a ton of goals on the road and this match can easily turn into a goal-fest. Each of the previous three matches between the two teams featured at least Over 2.5 Goals, so I will take the Over 3 Goals here.
