Friday, the 3rd day of the Bundesliga begins with a meeting between Union Berlin and Mainz. Both teams are still hoping for their first success.
Landing for the first time in its history in the Bundesliga last year, Union Berlin was able to raise its level to obtain a very correct 11th place which allowed it to offer itself very comfortable support. Since the resumption, the Men in Iron have dismissed Karlsruhe in the 1st round of the German Cup (0-1) in extra time but they suffered on the 1st day against Augsburg (1-3). Last weekend, they took their first point by bringing back a good draw from their trip on the lawn of Borussia Mönchengladbach (1-1).
For its part, Mainz will have to roll up its sleeves in order to recover after several missed outings already. 13th last year, the Karnevalsverein did not gain confidence at all during the summer by losing all of their friendlies. Subsequently, the partners of Jean-Philippe Mateta, all the same, dismissed the modest club of Havelse in the Cup (1-5) but they suffered during the first two days played against Leipzig (3-1) and Stuttgart (1- 4) last weekend.
A priori, Union Berlin should be deprived of the important striker Ujah as well as the middle Gentner. In recent weeks, the club has let go of their very good Swedish striker Andersson (12 goals last year in the league) for Cologne and it is the Nigerian striker from Liverpool Awoniyi who arrived on loan to try to compensate for this. departure.
Mainz should be able to count on their interesting attacking duo made up of Swedish scorer Quaison, who scored 13 goals last year, and young Frenchman Mateta. Both have already scored this season despite the team’s poor results. Note the injuries of midfielder Fernandes and substitutes Salai, Bell, and Dong-Won as well as the suspension of French defender Niakhaté, sent off in the last match.
Coaches have the possibility of making 5 substitutions during the game.
Bundesliga matches are currently being played in stadiums with a limited number of spectators.
These two teams in poor shape at the start of the season could leave each other back to back at the end of a meeting which would see the two attacks illustrated. Draw!
