Mainz host Werder Bremen at the MEWA Arena on Saturday (April 8) in the Bundesliga.
The hosts are enjoying a good run of form at the moment and are making a late push for the European spots. Mainz beat RB Leipzig 3-0 in their last outing, with three players getting on the scoresheet in a clinical performance. Mainz are eighth in the league table with 40 points from 26 games.
Werder, meanwhile, have struggled for form recently but remain hopeful of staying in the top flight. They lost 2-1 to a resurgent Hoffenheim side in their last game. Weder were already two goals down before Amos Pieper came off the bench to half the deficit 15 minutes from time. The visitors are 11th in the Bundesliga with 31 points picked up.
