Union Berlin Win • 2.34

In the 3rd round of the German championship there will be a meeting "Union" - "Mainz". The match will take place on October 2.

In the 1st round the Berliners lost to Augsburg (1: 3), the 2nd Bundesliga team at the moment. This was the only defeat in his last 5 home games in the championship.

The Carnivals are losing 3 matches in a row in the Bundesliga. Last season ended with a minimal loss to Bayer.

Union looks more convincing. I bet on the hosts to win.

Union Berlin Win • 2.34

Heavy defeats to Leipzig and then newly promoted Stuttgart cost Achim Beierlorzer his job at Mainz last week but even with their old manager dismissed, things are unlikely to improve for the struggling visitors away to Union Berlin.

Union defied all expectations last term to finish 11th in their maiden Bundesliga campaign and that was thanks largely to their performances at home, where eight of their 12 league successes came.

They beat Paderborn and Dusseldorf at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei at the end of last season after having drawn 1-1 with Mainz there but on that occasion Union played more than half the game with only ten men.

Mainz are in disarray at the moment but are unlikely to be completely dismantled by Union, who lost star striker Sebastian Andersson in the summer. Three of the capital club’s last four Bundesliga victories were settled by a solitary goal and with that in mind, I expect a tight affair and predict Union Berlin win.

Union Berlin Win • 2.34

👉 Mainz 05, have lost to Leipzig (1-3) and Stuttgart (1-4), but given their shaky defence, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of spoiling Union Berlin’s party at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei. 🔥

👉 It is important to say about Moussa Niakhate, who was sent off at the weekend. Now he misses the game through suspension, which is yet another reason why I want to put my prediction to the home team. 🔥

Handicap Union Berlin (0) • 1.58

Mainz has very big staffing difficulties. The coach was fired after only 2 rounds of the league. And now the ********* will work. It is unlikely that he will be able to come up with something brilliant in such a short period of time. Mainz is very vulnerable right now and this is a very good hope for Union Berlin to score points. Union looks better here, they were able to ****** a draw from Borussia, win the cup.

Under 3.5 Goals • 1.37

In the current draw, Mainz lost not only to RB Leipzig (1: 3) on the road, but also to Stuttgart at home (1: 4). Defender Moussa Niakate will not be able to play for the guests.

In 4 of their last 5 home games in the league, Union have not conceded a goal in the 2nd half.

I bet on total under 3.5.
