Union Berlin, Recent FormUnion Berlin enter this game with a comfortable 2-0 away win over Hertha BSC last time out in the league. They came away from that fixture with 48% of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 3 on target. By comparison, Hertha BSC managed 10 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
Manager Urs Fischer will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 13 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 10 goals they managed at the other end. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 14 games in a row.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Union Berlin, Danilho Doekhi will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Mainz 05, Recent FormThe last league instalment for Mainz 05 produced a stunning 5-2 home win over Bochum. Their share of possession in that meeting was 43%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Bochum had 15 shots on goal with 4 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Bo Svensson will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 10 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Marcus Ingvartsen is the man of the moment at Mainz 05 right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
Nothing to write home about from their previous encounter, with no goals and both teams having to settle for a share of the points.
Die Nullfünfer have some indifferent league form when it comes to away matches against Union; they have shipped at least 1 goal in their last 4 games away to them.
Playing at home, Union have won the last 2 and are unbeaten in the last 4 times they have faced Mainz in the league.
With only Timo Baumgartl (COVID-19) and Morten Thorsby (Abdominal) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Urs Fischer will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Bo Svensson has a number of injury concerns in his Mainz squad to contend with: Delano Burgzorg (Ankle), Jonathan Burkardt (Knee), Marlon Mustapha (Thigh) and Robin Zentner (Back)
