Union Berlin vs Mainz pick: Over 2.5 goals

[Billionsuspect]

The most successful year in Union Berlin history was last year. The club led by Urs Fischer will make their Champions League debut the following month because they finished fourth on the standings. They had a preseason record of four victories and three losses this summer. Union Berlin defeated Walldorf 4-0 on the road last weekend in the cup.

With 46 points and ninth place in the previous season, Mainz were once again a strong team. They expect a similar season again. Mainz participated in the cup last weekend and won as well. Even so, Mainz struggled more against Elversberg but eventually won 1-0 away from home.

Prediction: 2:1

Both Union Berlin and Mainz had successful seasons last year and will be looking to build upon their achievements. Union Berlin's fourth-place finish secured them a spot in the upcoming Champions League, which marks a historic milestone for the club. Under the guidance of coach Urs Fischer, Union Berlin have been able to establish themselves as a formidable team.

In terms of their preseason preparations, Union Berlin garnered four victories and three losses, which is a decent record. Their recent 4-0 away win against Walldorf in the cup suggests that they are in good form and have carried their momentum from last season into the new campaign.

Mainz, on the other hand, finished in ninth place with 46 points last season and will be aiming for a similar performance this time around. They have proven to be a consistently strong team in recent years, and they will be hoping to continue that trend. Their narrow 1-0 victory over Elversberg in the cup indicates that they had a tougher time but managed to come out on top.

Considering both teams' recent form and their aspirations for the season, this match could be closely contested. Given Union Berlin's home advantage and their impressive attacking display in the cup, they may have a slight edge over Mainz. However, it is worth noting that Mainz has shown resilience in the past and should not be counted out. With that in mind, a 2-1 victory in favor of Union Berlin seems like a reasonable prediction for this encounter.
