The season is still fairly new and the Bundesliga table has to be read with caution. So far Union Berlin find themselves in 14th position and Mainz 05 are placed 17th.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
