UNN vs MAZ Dream11 Prediction: In the Bundesliga, Union Berlin will square off against Mainz 05 at the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei on Friday night. Union Berlin earned their first point of the season at just the second time of asking as they earned an eye-catching point on the road at Borussia Monchengladbach last week. They will now go in search of their maiden win of the campaign as they host winless Mainz with the away side arriving on the back of their second heavy defeat in a row. They shipped four at home to newly-promoted Stuttgart last week and have now conceded seven in their opening two matches. Despite that, they have scored in both of those games and can continue their record in front of goal here, but they are still unlikely to come out on top with the home side able to avoid defeat at the very least.

Union Berlin Team News
Union defied all expectations last term to finish 11th in their maiden Bundesliga campaign and that was thanks largely to their performances at home, where eight of their 12 league successes came. They beat Paderborn and Dusseldorf at the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei at the end of last season after having drawn 1-1 with Mainz there but on that occasion Union played more than half the game with only ten men.
Injury update, unavailability
The hosts will be without Anthony Ujah and Christian Gentner in this clash due to injury issue.
UNN Playing 11 & Subs (probable)
Luthe; Friedrich, Schlotterbeck, Knoche; Trimmel, Andrich, Promel, Lenz; Becker, Kruse, Bulter
Subs (probable): Gogia, Mees, Teuchert
Mainz Team News
Heavy defeats to Leipzig and then newly promoted Stuttgart cost Achim Beierlorzer his job at Mainz last week but even with their old manager dismissed, things are unlikely to improve for the struggling visitors away to Union Berlin. Mainz are in disarray at the moment but are unlikely to be completely dismantled by Union, who lost star striker Sebastian Andersson in the summer.
Injury update, unavailability
Stefan Bell, Pierre Kunde and Edimilson Fernandes are all yet to feature since testing positive for coronavirus, and the trio are set to remain sidelined alongside Ji Dong-Won.
MAZ Playing 11 & Subs (probable)
Zentner; Baku, Hack, St. Juste, Brosinski; Latza, Barreiro; Oztunali, Boetius, Quaison; Mateta
Subs (probable): Boetius, Nebel, Fernandes

Who will win UNN vs MAZ Today Match Prediction Football
Both of these sides are still winless in the 2020-21 campaign, but the mood in the Union Berlin camp will undoubtedly be more positive than Mainz’s given their recent troubles. The visitors will be hoping that the dismissal of Beierlorzer acts as the catalyst for a turnaround in fortunes, but we still expect Union to come away with all three points and condemn Mainz to their third defeat in as many matches. We predict a 2-1 win for Union Berlin in today match prediction.
