Union Berlin vs Mainz 05
Match preview
Union conceded twice in the first half against Augsburg, and though they prevented their opponents from creating a big chance in the second half, Die Eisernen failed to create a single big chance themselves.
Boss Steffen Baumgart has only been in charge for two games - and has presided over two defeats - but his side have failed to score in his short tenure, conceding four goals in the process.
In fact, the hosts' record of 13 top-flight goals is the second-worst return in the Bundesliga, although they are the fifth-best defensive team in the division, having conceded just 24 times.
Baumgart's side are winless in their last 11 matches, losing eight and their last three.
Union's home form has taken a turn for the worse: while they won their first three games at the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei in 2024-25, they failed to win any of their subsequent five home matches, drawing three and losing two.
