On August 14, Mainz will host Union Berlin for the Bundesliga clash. Who will prevail in this battle? The answer is in our prediction.

Command Analysis

Mainz 05

The Carnival Club got off to a great start - they demolished Erzgebirge Aue (3:0) in DFB-Pokal and then beat Bochum in Bundesliga (2:1). Both of those victories were recorded on away and now club is approaching the first home match of the season. Bo Svensson's men took the 9th spot in the previous season and Mainz will surely try to improve that result.

Burkardt and Tauer will miss the upcoming game due to injuries.

Union Berlin

The Iron Ones have also started the season with back-to-back victories - they narrowly beat Hemnitzer in extra-time (2:1) for the DFB-Pokal fixture and then secured a win over Hertha in a Berlin derby (3:1). Union Berlin finished the previous season 5th in the standings, just narrowly missing the Champions League places.

Central defender Timo Baumgartl will be sidelined for this game.
