Union Berlin to Win
It seems that Union Berlin managed to get back into form after struggling for a short while since they have won three games in a row now and that puts them just one point behind leaders in the standings Bayern Munich.
Meanwhile, Mainz has just one win in the last six Bundesliga games and they are in the lower half of the standings. So, with Union Berlin also hosting the game, we expect them to get all three points on Saturday.
Both Teams to Score – No
Both teams have scored in 56% of all Union Berlin matches in the league so far, while the same is true for 61% of all Mainz games in Bundesliga this season.
Despite that, our prediction is that we won't see both teams score in this game. After all, both teams have scored in just two of the last five h2h meetings between these two teams.

While the hosts are favourites to win this match, it can still be an interesting game. So, here's a closer look at both teams ahead of it:
Union Berlin
After failing to notch a win in three straight games, Union Berlin has won three in a row now.

Ronnow – Doekhi, Knoche, Leite – Juranovic, Haraguchi, Khedira, Haberer, Gießelmann – Becker, Behrens
Mainz
Although Mainz managed to beat Bochum 5-2 in an impressive display last weekend, it was their first win in the league after five matches without one. Overall, Mainz 05 has 23 points from 18 games, which puts them close to the middle of the standings, but still in the lower half of the table.
When it comes to team news, Mainz is currently without injured Robin Zentner, Delano Burgzorg, Jonathan Burkardt, and Marlon Mustapha.
Mainz Predicted Lineup:
Dahmen – Hanche-Olsen, Fernandes, Caci – Widmer, Barkok, Barreiro, Jae-Sung, Martin – Onisiwo, Ingvartsen

Player to Watch: Sheraldo Becker
Since we can see the home team getting the three points from this match, we decided to choose Sheraldo Becker as a player to watch in this match against Mainz 05.
The forward from Suriname has done very well this season in Bundesliga since he managed to score seven goals and assist four times in eighteen matches for Union Berlin. So, Mainz will have to pay great attention to Becker in this game.
