Bundesliga resumes on matchday 16 with the bottom-placed Mainz travelling to European hopefuls Union Berlin on Saturday. This match in Berlin between the eighth-placed Iron Ones and the 18th-placed 05ers comes with our prediction of a home win accompanied by BTTS.
With 21 points from 15 matches (W6, D3, L6), Union spent the winter break five points outside the European qualification spots. Mainz’s eight points (W1, D5, L9) saw them stuck in the basement and six points adrift of the safety zone.
Union edged Koln 1-0 away from home in their last game of 2025. That was their second win in a row, helping them to stay alive in the race for European places.
Being competitive at home could be their ticket to Europe, although they won only twice in their last seven home league games (D3, L2) and need improvements on that count.
Mainz drew 0-0 at home against St Pauli, failing to lift themselves off the bottom of the standings. That result kept them winless across 11 Bundesliga matches (D4, L7) going into the break.
The visitors won only once in this campaign, and that came on the road, but their away form has been dire recently. Mainz lost four of their last five away league games (D1), which needs improvement if they want to avoid relegation.
