Prediction

  • A genuine relegation six-pointer, rearranged after a recent snow deluge. Mainz do enjoy an extra 24 hours rest and recuperation going into this one.
  • Union won the reverse fixture 4-1 but have suffered since and sit uncomfortably close to relegation strife.
  • Mainz have scored only 14 goals and languish one off the bottom, having won just once all season and eight draws preventing any upward trajectory.
  • Go for a Mainz win at decent odds to close the gap to Union to just three points.
