Midweek matches will mark the 28th round of the German Bundesliga, with one of the matches lined up seeing Union Berlin host Mainz on Wednesday. The hosts go to this game placed 13th with 30 points, three better than 15th placed Mainz. Both sides head to this clash on the back of heavy losses. Union Berlin fell 4-0 to Hertha berlin as Mainz were routed 5-0 by Leipzig. Both will be hoping to collect maximum points here as they are closer to the drop than safety. Union Berlin go to this game on a run of five winless matches, four of these being losses. They have no clean sheet in the last five matches and have conceded two or more goals in each of them while failing to score in the last two matches. Four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. Their form at home doesn’t hold much promise either; they lost 2-0 to Bayern Munich as the league resumed and will be hoping to stop the run that has seen them winless in the last three home matches. However, they have scored at least twice in three of their last four matches at home and facing another struggling team, we can bet on them hitting the back of the net again.

It will be tough to separate these two sides, as Mainz are not enjoying the best of runs either. They have no win in their last three matches though two were scoring draws. Just like Union Berlin, they are winless since the league resumed and will be hoping to better a run that has handed them just two wins and five losses in the last 10 matches. Defensively, it hasn’t been rosy for Mainz; they are the side with the worst record in the league, having conceded 60 goals in 27 matches. They have also conceded the most away goals – 34 in 14 away league matches. Mainz are however the second best scorers among the bottom six sides and will hope this rubs in here.
