Mainz 05 - Union Berlin predictions

Mainz 05 are not exactly firm favourites to register three points in this game but we still believe they will manage to defeat Union Berlin. The odds of 2.21 might sound a bit risky but we still trust hosts can come out on top in the end.

Union Berlin will have little to hope for in this match. 3.64 betting odds on them winning paint a pretty clear picture and from this standpoint there is little doubt in regard to the outcome of this clash.

Mainz supporters are hoping for a better performance than in the home game they played last round. They lost that match after spending most of it behind. A 0:1 defeat is not a disaster on paper, but it’s worth noting that top bookies online saw them as the more likely team to win at odds of 2.09.

Union Berlin were priced 9.26 odds to win their previous Bundesliga away game, and also had to contend with playing as the away team. Quite predictably, they fell behind in the early game and eventually lost the showdown 2:0.

The home team is here on the back of two consecutive matches in which fewer than 2 goals were scored in total. That’s not the kind of trend you want to be on, though it does display a kind of consistency.

The most noteworthy bit of the away team’s recent records is that they scored more than 5 times during their latest 3 home games. The home-field advantage doesn’t translate into the match this Wednesday, but their strikers are still fairly consistent.

Although the 2.21 betting odds for a home win show that Mainz are the favourites, their track record against Union Berlin this season is not great. They lost an earlier bout, though it was a rather narrow defeat.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Betway priced at 1.70 odds.
