We said: Mainz 05 1-0 Union Berlin

Mainz come into this season with great momentum and we expect that to bear fruit on Saturday at home as they look to continue their fine league form. Both teams also struggled for goals last season and it would be difficult to envisage a high-scoring encounter here, but we expect the home side to narrowly come away with all three points.
