Mainz 05 vs Union Berlin Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 10th May 2026

Round 33 of the Bundesliga serves up an encounter between Mainz 05 and Union Berlin taking place at MEWA Arena this coming Sunday.

Ranked as number 10 in the Bundesliga standings, Mainz 05, have so far collected 37 points this season, while Union Berlin collected 33 points. This puts them up as number 13 after 32 rounds.

Mainz 05 are aiming to extend the lead on Union Berlin in the standings as they go toe-to-toe this coming Sunday. On the other hand, the hosts should be motivated to not let the current gap get any bigger.

When it comes to goal-scoring Mainz 05 could be more prolific, scoring 16 times in their previous ten games. That is an average of 1.6 goals per game in which, they conceded 13 times. This is an average of 1.3 a game, achieving a clean sheet in one games.

Union Berlin are currently not the most scoring team in the Bundesliga, as they only found the back of the net nine times in ten matches. This is an average of just 0.9 goals a game in which they conceded 20 times, an average of two per game. They managed two clean sheets in these.

Their latest encounter was a belter of a game, which finished with a 2-2 scoreline. An uncommon result, but we would not mind a similar goal fest this coming Sunday.

Mainz 05 were dreaming of finishing in the top three in the current campaign, but it has been a season to forget for the home side.

It seems both Union Berlin and Mainz 05 have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues on Sunday, and we are rooting for goals.
