Three days ago, Mainz played out a 0-0 draw in the Europa Conference League when visiting Sigma Olomouc.

Werder Bremen vs Mainz Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

Werder Bremen are the skinniest price to succeed in this Bundesliga clash, with the favourites afforded a 44% probability based on their +125 betting odds with the bookies. Mainz 05 are the outsiders at +205 which suggests a lower likelihood of winning.

If you want to side with Werder winning against Mainz, then the -0.25 on the Asian Handicap is one potential option. You can land -105 and also have the insurance of half stake returns in the event of a draw.

The expectation is that Over 2.5 Goals will be scored according to the latest odds. Punters expecting both teams to find the net can get -172 when it comes to BTTS Yes.
