Ole Werner's men pick up all three points at the MEWA Arena. Marvin Ducksch's early opener proved to be enough for the visitors, who pick up a third consecutive Bundesliga victory in the process to continue their push for a European spot.

We're off once more!

The visitors go into the break ahead thanks to Marvin Ducksch's second-minute goal. Mainz hit the post later on, but were unable to beat Michael Zetterer between the sticks.

The visitors needed less than two minutes to move in front, as Ducksch takes advantage of a poor Mainz clearance to bury into the corner on the turn.

We're underway here at the MEWA Arena.

Under this slogan, German professional football is commemorating the victims of National Socialism on and around 27 January, the date of liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp. This is the 20th year in which the DFL and the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 clubs have been involved in the “day of commemoration in German football” in cooperation with the “!Nie Wieder” (“!Never Again”) initiative. In light of current events, the day of commemoration around Matchdays 19 and 20 (26–28 January and 2–4 February) will focus on the topic of antisemitism.

Bremen are unbeaten in six Bundesliga matches, winning and drawing three apiece. It's their best run since earning promotion back to the Bundesliga in 2022. They were winless in four prior to their on-going streak.

Thanks for joining us for build-up and live coverage of this Matchday 20 fixture between Mainz and Bremen.
