Werder Bremen primed to make the most of Mainz malaise

BT Sport 2, from 2.30pm Sunday

Mainz v Werder Bremen

BT Sport 2, 5pm

Werder Bremen will be confident about making it five successes on the spin when visiting Mainz after bouncing back from a 6-2 shocker at home to Bayer Leverkusen with a midweek 5-1 away cup win at Weiche Flensburg.

Werder have won three of their four Bundesliga road matches and their hosts have not prevailed in seven games in all competitions.

Gladbach v Dusseldorf

BT Sport 2, 2.30pm

Gladbach were thumped 5-0 in the German Cup by Leverkusen on Wednesday but should bounce back to winning ways with a comfortable success over struggling Fortuna Dusseldorf.

When Gladbach hit their stride they can be pretty ruthless - five of their six successes this term have come by more than one goal, including a 3-0 win away to Bayern Munich.

Mark Langdon's recommendation
Monchengladbach -1.5 Asian handicap
1pt 21-20 bet365, 188Bet

Key stat
Fortuna Dusseldorf have lost their last five league matches by an aggregate margin of 15-2.
