Mainz 05, Recent FormThe Mainz 05 players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Werder Bremen recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. They achieved 59% possession in that match and had 23 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Werder Bremen's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
Having scored just 2 goals in their last 6 games, it will be glaringly obvious to their manager Jan Siewert where he needs to focus his attentions if they are going to get more points on the table. Hoever, he will still have one eye on his defence which has shipped 5 in the same period. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 16 of their 19 games played.
A win for Mainz 05 is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 9 games.
Union Berlin, Recent FormUnion Berlin will not be too troubled by their 2-0 away defeat against RB Leipzig, given the latter currently sit 10 places further up the league table than they do. Their share of possession in that meeting was 34%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. RB Leipzig had 17 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Having conceded 6 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 7 points. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games, and over the course of the season they have failed to score in 7 of their 10 games on the road.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 9 games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Union Berlin, Benedict Hollerbach will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
After a good 4-1 win for Union Berlin in this pair's last league encounter, Mainz 05 will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
Union has won the last 2 games they've played against Mainz in the league.
Mainz manager Jan Siewert has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Stefan Bell (Heart problems), Brajan Gruda (Hip), Jessic Ngankam (Knee) and Nelson Weiper (Knee surgery) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Nenad Bjelica has a number of injury concerns in his Union squad to contend with: Josip Juranović (Muscle), Jérôme Roussillon (Muscle), Yorbe Vertessen (Muscle) and Kevin Volland (Concussion)
