Mainz will visit Weserstadion on Friday for their Bundesliga showdown with Werder Bremen. Time to bring you the latest player updates and predicted line ups.
Werder Bremen prepare for this fixture following a 2-2 Bundesliga stalemate vs Borussia Dortmund. In our view, Werder look set to line up in a 3-5-2 system this time, utilising Michael Zetterer, Milos Veljkovic, Marco Friedl, Anthony Jung, Mitchell Weiser, Leonardo Bittencourt, Senne Lynen, Romano Schmid, Derrick Köhn, Marco Grüll and Marvin Ducksch.
Julián Malatini, Keke Topp, Felix Agu and Niklas Stark are not available for Bremen boss Ole Werner.
Possible Werder Bremen team vs Mainz
Mainz will come into the clash after a 2-0 Bundesliga win as they beat Stuttgart in their previous outing. There’s a good chance that Mainz appear most likely to utilise a 3-4-2-1 formation, going with Robin Zentner, Maxim Leitsch, Stefan Bell, Dominik Kohr, Anthony Caci, Kaishu Sano, Nadiem Amiri, Phillipp Mwene, Paul Nebel, Jae-Sung Lee and Nelson Weiper.
Mainz boss Bo Henriksen has to currently contend with reduced team options. Gabriel Vidovic (Ankle injury), Moritz Jenz (muscular problems) and Jonathan Burkardt (Thigh problems) will not be playing here.
