The match between Union Berlin vs Mainz will be played on Wednesday 27 May 2020, at Stadion An der Alten Försterei. It is one of the matches scheduled in the twenty-eighth round of the Bundesliga.

Union Berlin did not win any points after the restart

Union Berlin has a series of three consecutive defeats, the last two after the resumption of domestic competition in Germany. It is one of the three teams that did not accumulate any points after the resumption of the Bundesliga. The situation in the ranking, thirteenth place, is starting to become worrying. It has only six points left from the relegation dam position. Head coach Urs Fischer must find solutions for the team to return to the safety zone. Keven Schlotterbeck returns after suspension and can increase defensive safety. Midfielder Christian Gentner is completely rebuilt and can enter the basic formula. Sebastian Andersson is the hosts’ top scorer, with eleven goals scored.

Mainz is increasingly threatened by teams in the danger zone

Mainz is on the fifteenth place in the ranking, the last one that ensures the maintenance in the Bundesliga and in the next season. He still has an advance of three points from the dam position and six from the one that relegates directly. He has won just one point in these two stages since the replay, the least of the last four in the Bundesliga. He allowed his opponents, with whom he fights to avoid relegation, to approach menacingly. He also had a rather difficult schedule, with Cologne (2-2) and Leipzig (0-5). It needs positive results because otherwise it risks being reached by Fortuna Dusseldorf and Werder Bremen. Robin Quaison, with twelve goals scored, is the most dangerous striker of the guests.

Union Berlin vs Mainz Picks

It is an important meeting between two teams from the dangerous area of ​​the standings. They both want to get the points they need to get out of here quickly. The end of the season is coming when the matches are getting fiercer and the risk of staying behind is increasing. Union Berlin did not score in these two meetings after the restart. I noticed that in six of the last nine matches, played at home, he scored twice. In five of them he managed to keep the gate open and did not receive a goal. We expect such a development in the confrontation on Wednesday.

Our Prediction: Double chance (1x) & under 4.5 goals

Odds: 1.61
