Mainz vs Union Berlin Prediction & Betting Tips (19 January)

This Friday, January 19, 2024 from 8:30 p.m., here is the start of the 18th day of the Bundesliga in Germany, in a match of fear in the depths of the championship. Thus, Mainz 16th will host Union Berlin 15th in the Mewa Arena in Mainz. Mainz will have to make up for a gap of 3 lengths on its visitor of the day who is the first non-relegation club in the elite across the Rhine and the pressure is significant, because the lead over the red lantern Darmstadt is only just one small dot.

Lately, the local team remains on 2 consecutive parity scores with a score of 1 all against Wolfsburg, last weekend at home, and on the field of Dortmund before the break, before that a 0-1 loss against the promoted Heidenheim took place on December 16. Facing them, Union Berlin arrives, which has gone from one season to the next from dream to nightmare in the Bundesliga, but with a discovery by participating in the Champion’s League. After a final heavy setback against Bochum 3-0, the Berliners recovered by winning against Cologne 2-0 at home before the break, then sharing the points last weekend on the Friborg pitch in a goalless draw.

Both teams have found the net in just two of the most recent 10 top-flight fixtures involving Mainz, so it is quite rare for this to happen when they take to the field. It has been a virtually identical story as far as Union Berlin are concerned, as 10 of their previous 12 matches at this level have seen at least one of the two keepers emerge with a clean sheet.
