Union Berlin vs Mainz 05 Prediction and Betting Tips (19.01.2025)

Command Analysis

Union Berlin

Germany

Current form

At the start of the season, Union was at the top of the league table thanks to a solid defense, but then a serious decline followed. The last victory in the Bundesliga dates back to October 20, when they managed to win 2:0 away from home against Holstein. The change of coach did not lead to positive results. After the Christmas break, Steffen Baumgart men lost to far from the most formidable opponents, Heidenheim and Augsburg, with the same score of 0:2. There are still many problems in the attack - only 14 goals scored. Only due to the defense, which has also begun to fail often, it is difficult to count on anything serious in the Bundesliga. With 17 points, the Iron Ones occupy 14th place in the table and are only three points ahead of the play-off zone.

Disqualifications and injuries

Stein, Rennow and Ptain will not play today due to injuries. Vogt and Juranovic are in doubt. Rothe will serve a suspension.

Mainz 05

Germany

Current form

Mainz has pleased its fans with its play and results throughout the season. It is worth noting the successful matches of a rather modest team against the leaders. Over the last four rounds, the carnival team managed to beat Bayern (2:1) and Eintracht (3:1). In the previous round, Bo Henriksen team put up a decent fight against Bayer, although they lost away with a minimal score of 0:1. Mainz approaches the upcoming match in sixth place in the tournament table and, in case of victory, will catch up with Leipzig, who is in fifth place, in terms of points scored.

Tip and bets

1.96Mainz with handicap (0)

The bookmakers' line for the upcoming match raises some questions, where you can see almost equal odds for one of the teams to win. Union has only the home field factor on its side, which has not helped the Irons for a long time. Moreover, Mainz plays successfully away, has scored 14 of its total 28 points away, has scored 18 goals, only Bayern has more. We believe that at the moment the Carnival players are stronger than their opponents in all game parameters and are capable of taking three points.

Our prediction is a victory for Mainz with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 1.96

2.2total over 2.5 goals

Bet on total

Mainz demonstrates productive football away from home, no problems with implementation. Union has nothing to lose, it needs to go forward on its home field to interrupt the protracted series of failures. We think it is worth taking advantage of the solid coefficient and play the bet on the total over.

The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 2.20

Bet on the first half

Let pay attention to the fact that in three of the five previous face-to-face matches the opponents separated in a draw at the end of the first half. We expect that today all the main events on the field will unfold after the break.

Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.12
