Mainz vs Union Berlin Betting Tips &— Under 2.5 Goals

Mainz’s performance has been dismal, with a winless streak of nine matches as they head into Wednesday’s postponed Bundesliga game. Having gathered just 11 points from 19 matches this season, Friday’s hosts are now six points away from safety.

The 05ers suffered their third loss in four matches, falling 1:0 at home against Werder Bremen on Saturday due to a lack of goals. Mainz has only managed to score three goals in their last nine league games.

Jan Siewert’s team has been having a tough time at the MEWA ARENA, managing to gather only four points from their previous eight league games. Mainz has suffered losses in three out of their last four home games, all with an identical scoreline of 1:0.

Union Berlin comes into this match following a 2:0 loss to RB Leipzig on Sunday. The visiting team has had a stronger performance recently, with two victories and one tie from their last five league games. This has put Union six points ahead of the home team. However, Die Eisernen has been struggling to score, with only three goals in their last six league matches.

Given the recent difficulties both teams have been experiencing in scoring goals, it’s likely that Wednesday’s match will be a closely contested, low-scoring game. I predict that the total goals scored will be under 2.5. A draw might be a possible outcome, as neither team has demonstrated a winning streak in their respective home and away games.

I’m taking the under 2.5 goal line as my top pick while I also anticipate this relegation six-pointer could finish deadlocked.
