Mainz vs Union Berlin – With their respective victories over Bochum and Hertha Berlin, Mainz and Union Berlin both had a successful start to the current Bundesliga season.
After Sunday’s match at MEWA ARENA, both teams will want to maintain their undefeated record, but we somehow think that the draw is the most likely of the three possibilities.
Union Berlin has more talent, but Mainz will overcome it because of home-court advantage.
Last season, Mainz was among the league’s top home teams. They scored 35 points at home during the previous Bundesliga season. The issue was that they were unable to match such performances while travelling, as they only managed to secure 11 points for the year.
Karim Anisiwo, who started the game off for Mainz with a brace in a 1-2 away victory over Bochum at Vonovia Ruhrstadion, will be the centre of attention.
Jordan Siebatcheu, a recent acquisition, is the offensive weapon for Union Berlin (or Pefok if you like). The former Young Boys forward scored right away in a 3-1 triumph over Herth Berlin last weekend in the capital city derby.
It’s also important to remember that Mainz and Union Berlin both had strong preseason performances. If we count the summer exhibitions, the hosts have now gone four games without a loss, while the visitors have now gone six.
Mainz vs Union Berlin – Betting Analysis
Prior to their 13th head-to-head matchup, the teams each have five victories, and Union Berlin defeated Mainz at home and away in the previous Bundesliga season to win the domestic double over them.
In two head-to-head matches during the previous Bundesliga season, Union Berlin defeated Mainz with five goals. In 17 league games played at MEWA ARENA last season, Mainz only lost two games. At the beginning of the season, Union Berlin played outstandingly against Hertha.
This is why we believe that the best wager in this situation is a tie. It is wagerable at 3.25 odds. Another wager worth taking into account at odds of 1.75 is both teams to score.
The 1-2 Bundesliga 1 victory over VfL Bochum, in which Mainz had 40% of the possession and 13 shots on goal with 6 of them being successful, will be the desired outcome for Mainz.
In their most recent match, Union Berlin defeated Hertha Berlin 3-1. During that contest, Union Berlin had 48% of the possession and made 19 efforts on goal, with 8 of those shots finding the back of the net.
