Werder Bremen's saviour in the 2-2 draw against Greuther Furth will be looking to add to his two goals as he continues for the trip to Mainz 05.
He will line up just behind Nils Petersen in the Bremen attack with close support coming from Kevin de Bruyne on the right flank.
Mainz top scorer Adam Szalai continues up front for the hosts, despite his lean spell in front of goal, with Niki Zimling given the nod to play in behind him.
Mainz: Wetklo; Bell, Svensson, Noveski, Pospech; Soto, Baumgartlinger; Ivanschitz, Zimling, Muller; Szalai
Bremen: Mielitz; Gebre Selassie, Lukimya, Sokratis, Ignjovski; Bargfrede, Trybull; De Bruyne, Hunt, Ekici; Peterson
