The opening challenge of the third week of the German Bundesliga will be played on Friday, October 2nd, between Union Berlin and Mainz 05.
Union Berlin :
Having found the opportunity to compete in the German Bundesliga for the first time in the history of the previous season, Union Berlin had a good season by staying away from the relegation line throughout the season while reaching its goal of staying in the cluster under the leadership of Urs Fischer. The host, who increased their goals in the new season and added Bülter, Griesbeck, Gießelmann, Knoche, Schlotterbeck, Luthe, Cedric Teuchert, Max Kruse and Loris Karius to their squad during the transfer period, did not get the results they wanted from the first 2 weeks of the German Bundesliga and lost exactly 5 points. Following the 3-1 defeat against Augsburg, Union Berlin, who was a guest on the road to Mönchengladbach, put 1 point in his pocket with Schlotterbeck’s only goal. The landlord showed a more compact image in his second exam. Gentner and Ujah are injured in the Union Berlin team.
Mainz 05 :
Things are not going well on the Mainz 05 front. Having spent the first 2 weeks of the German Bundesliga with different defeats, the guest team became the weakest link of the league with Schalke 04 at the end of 180 minutes. Achim Beierlorzer and his students, who lost 3-1 to Leipzig in the first week and 4-1 to Stuttgart in the second week, managed to score goals against both of their opponents, but the poor performances of the defense line brought the defeat. While Mainz 05 was shown among the weak links after the ineffective transfer period, it proved that it was not enough in the field with its first 2 weeks of performance. On the Mainz 05 front, Bell, Fernandes and Kunde Malong are in quarantine due to covid. Niakhate has a card suspension. Ji Dong-Won and Szalai have injuries.
Union Berlin, which gave signs of recovery in the last game and started to receive contribution from their new transfers, will take its first win against Mainz 05 at home.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,66
