Team News

Union Berlin
Mainz
  • Skipper Rani Khedira is available after suspension, but Tom Rothe is on the naughty step for another game following his sending off last weekend. Frederik Rönnow is struggling with an elbow injury.
  • Yannic Stein is recovering from an op, while Ivan Prtajin is still making his way back from injury.
  • Maxim Dal has a knee niggle, while Silvan Widmer has a muscle injury. Moritz Jenz missed out in midweek with a muscle injury, while Jonathan Burkardt limped off after only three minutes in midweek with a thigh injury.
  • Bayern loanee Gabriel Vidovic has undergone ankle surgery and will be out for several weeks.

Prediction

  • Union remain ten league games without a win and after conceding the first goal, have failed to win in their last 36 games.
  • Mainz enjoy 24 hours more rest and recuperation following their narrow loss at champions Leverkusen.
  • Mainz have won six of their last eight, including a shock win over Bayern on their way up to the lofty heights of sixth.
  • Goals may be at a premium here, but preference is given to the away side against free-falling Union.
