Mainz 05 host Werder Bremen at the MEWA Arena in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The hosts have been sensational in 2023 and could secure an unlikely European qualification come May. A run of seven games unbeaten for Mainz is the current longest in the division, as they have taken 17 points from a possible 21 in that time. Only Borussia Dortmund have a better record in the Bundesliga in 2023, and it has sparked an unexpected title challenge from a side who were lingering in mid-table after the mid-season break.
Last weekend saw Bo Svensson’s side thrash RB Leipzig 3-0 away from home to move to within one point of Eintracht Frankfurt in the UEFA Europa Conference League spot. One of Mainz’s strengths has been facing weaker opposition at home, as only Bayern Munich and Dortmund have come to the MEWA Arena and won this year.
