Mainz 05 vs Union Berlin Prediction: Betting on an exchange of goals and a win for the visitors

Sunday's pool for the second round of the German Bundesliga will open with a clash between Mainz and Union Berlin. Both teams have had a good start to the season, both in the German cup and in the domestic championship. Therefore, we expect a quality game with three results.

For Mainz, the upcoming meeting will be the first home game of the official season. In the German cup, the Carnival players were stronger than Erzgebirge Aue, beating their opponents 3:0. In the domestic league, they beat Bochum 2:1 away. Mainz lost the initiative in Bochum, owning the ball only 39% of the game time, with 13 shots on goal and six shots on target. Let's see if the Carnival players can continue their positive streak.

With some difficulty, Union passed the German Cup first-round hurdle extra time, beating Chemnitzer 2:1. In the first leg of the Bundesliga, they faced Hertha. The Berlin derby ended with a score of 3:1, with Sibacho, Becker, and Knohe scoring the goals for Union. Lukebakio scored the prestigious goal on 85 minutes. For the game, Union shot 18 times towards goal, hit the box eight times, and had possession 49% of the game time.

Last season, both head-to-head encounters between Mainz and Union ended effectively, with both teams scoring in both games. They positively started the new season, Mainz and Union made it to the second round of the German cup, and both teams achieved victories in the first round of the German championship. We believe that the result-oriented trend in this encounter will continue, and as for the outcome, we're going to side with the Berlin team, which beat Mainz twice in two games last season.
