The Bundesliga is back in action with another set of matches this week as Union Berlin lock horns with a struggling FSV Mainz side in an important encounter at the MEWA Arena on Wednesday.
FSV Mainz vs Union Berlin Preview
FSV Mainz are currently in 17th place in the Bundesliga standings and have failed to meet expectations so far this season. The hosts slumped to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Werder Bremen in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.
Union Berlin, on the other hand, are in 15th place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The away side suffered a damaging 2-0 defeat against RB Leipzig last week and have a point to prove in this match.
