Union Berlin form and stats

The story so far in the Bundesliga for Union Berlin at their home stadium (Stadion An der Alten Försterei) is 6 wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Union Berlin to get some points in this home game.

S. Andersson was the last player to score a league goal for Union Berlin and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Berlin haven't scored in 209 minutes.

In their previous game, the manager U. Fischer led his Berlin to a defeat in the Bundesliga match away at Hertha BSC. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadion An der Alten Försterei. Before that game, the home loss against Bayern München with the scoreline 0-2.

Berlin were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

There will be little rest for Union Berlin after this match as they are travelling to Borussia M'gladbach for a Bundesliga game in only four days.

Berlin has scored 18 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. Berlin have conceded 18 in these home matches.

Mainz 05 form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Mainz 05, who have the most conceded goals (60) in Bundesliga, so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 4-1-8 (win-draw-lose).

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Bundesliga home defeat versus RB Leipzig with 0-5 on the scoreboard. A 2-2 draw at Köln's stadium before that.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against RB Leipzig was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

A new game in only three days for Mainz, the Bundesliga home match versus Hoffenheim. Busy days.

The travelling fans enjoy Mainz's attacking play in away games, having scored 21 goals in 13 league matches away. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Mainz's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 34 goals in 13 travels.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Mainz 05 - Berlin 2-3.
