Union Berlin v Mainz Prediction

After getting promoted from the Bundesliga 2 via the playoffs, before the start of the season if you offered Union Berlin manager Urs Fischer’s the chance to be sitting 13th, 6 points clear of the relegation zone with 7 games left to play, he certainly would have taken it. However that being said there’s still plenty of work ahead for Fischer’s men. They come into this fixture in terrible form, no wins in their last 5 games; losing 4 and drawing 1. The most notable defeat stemming from their last fixture, losing 4-0 in the Berlin derby away to Hertha; a fixture that means so much to the fans. Fischer will be looking for a reaction from his players, so expect them to put in a competitive performance on home soil, a ground where they have won 6 out of 13 games played.

As for Mainz they find themselves in real trouble and are desperately in need of a positive result. In what has been a terrible season for Mainz, which has seen Sandro Schwarz lose his job back in November, they’re currently sitting in 15th place, 1 place above the relegation zone and only 3 points clear from the drop.They come into this fixture after a humiliating 5-0 home defeat to the impressive Leipzig and Achim Beierlorzer will be looking for a strong reaction from his players. Prior to the 5-0 defeat, Mainz did spring together 3 positive results; drawing 2 and beating Paderborn 2-0 in a vital game, they will hope to produce the same sort of performances they showed in these games.

Union Berlin will start favourites for this match, however aforementioned they come into this game on a run of 4 straight defeats. At home they don’t find much trouble finding the back on the net; scoring a total 6 goals in their last 4 home games, they have a goal difference of zero at home scoring 18 and conceding 18. Mainz have only won 4 games on their travels this season but finding the back of the net on the road is not a concern for them, they currently sit 7th for the most goals scored away from home in the league. Under normal circumstances we would expect a nervy tight affair with fans playing a part in this massive relegation fixture, however these are not normal circumstances. Expect the players to play with a sense of freedom without the fear of the crowd and eventually end up cancelling each other out. Before the Leipzig defeat Mainz were showing signs of improvement; managing to string together 3 good results and are desperately in need of another one here. With both sides struggling we expect them to be tough to separate, the first of our Union Berlin v Mainz prediction is for a Draw and Both Teams to Score at 16/5 with Paddy Power

Union Berlin v Mainz Correct Score Prediction

  • 0-0 draw – 11/1
  • 1-1 draw – 11/2
  • 2-2 draw – 12/1
  • 3-3 draw – 17/2
  • Union Berlin win 2-1 – 15/2
  • Mainz win 2-1 – 8/1

Despite the terrible form and the humbling 4-0 defeat to Hertha we expect Union Berlin to stop the rot of defeats here and produce a performance on home soil where they’re relatively comfortable playing. They have won 6 games at home, drawn 1 and lost 6 which is certainly respectable for a newly-promoted side. That being said they have also shipped as many goals as they have scored; 18.

Although sitting just above the relegation zone, on their travels this season in terms of scoring goals away from home, Mainz are pretty effective. scoring a total of 21 goals. Before the Leipzig defeat Mainz managed 3 positive results which included 2 draws. In their last away outing they managed to fight back from 2-0 down to salvage a 2-2 draw against Koln, expect Beierlorzer to drill these levels of performances into the players. With plenty at stake and both teams coming off humiliating defeats expect an even contest and with both teams not having any major issue scoring goals, in particular, Mainz away from home expect a high scoring draw to take place. It’s worth noting in the reverse fixture between these two teams it produced a thriller, Union Berlin just edging it 3-2. The second of our Union Berlin v Mainz prediction is for a 2-2 Draw at 12/1 with Bet365.

Union Berlin 2-2 Mainz – 12/1 with Bet365.

 

Union Berlin v Mainz Anytime Goalscorer Tip

  • Sebastian Andersson – 13/10
  • Anthony Ujah – 13/8
  • Robin Quaison – 13/8
  • Jean-Philipe Mateta – 13/2
  • Marcus Ingvarsten – 13/2
  • Sebstian Polter – 13/2
  • Adam Szalai – 15/2
  • Dong-Won Ji – 15/2

A regular starter for Mainz this season, Robin Quasion Harit has netted 12 goals, out of the 12 goals scored; 8 of them have been away from home. Amongst the 12 goals the 26 year old Sweedish international has netted 2 impressive hat tricks against Werder Bremen and Hertha Berlin both away from home and he will pose a massive threat in this game. (Robin Quaison to score 2 or more 10/1 with Bet365)

Therefore, our third and final bet is for Robin Quaison to score anytime in the clash.

Robin Quaison any time – 13/8 with Bet365.

 

Team News:

With both teams coming off heavy defeats expect a few changes to the line up in this one. Mainz first choice Goalkeeper Zenther Robin who missed the last two games is expected to be out for the rest of the season with a potential ACL. Union Berlin have no new fresh injury concerns.
