Mainz had a pretty good last season, finishing in 8th place, a step away from the European competition zone, with quite high performance - 2/3 of all matches ended with a 3-goal total. The new season also started with a 1-2 away win over Bochum.
Union Berlin secured the Europa League group stage by finishing 5th last season (just 1 point behind the top 4). The capital club significantly strengthened the squad in the summer transfer window. In the first round of Bundesliga, they comfortably beat Hertha at home 3:1. So the club's ambitions are very high again this football year.
In the last round, both meetings ended in favor of the capital club. The matches included many goals from both sides. We believe the opponents will break a total of 3 goals today, since their conversion of scoring chances is high, but the defensive is still far from ideal.
Our prediction: at least 3 goals to be scored. We recommend the “Over 2.5” bet, odds 2.1
