FC Union Berlin – Recent Form and Key Stats

FC Union Berlin travel to Mainz after a 2-2 draw against FC Köln on May 2. The visitors currently sit 13th in the Bundesliga table and have struggled for consistency, winning just two of their last 17 league matches. Their recent form shows no victories in five games, with two draws and three defeats, averaging 1.2 goals scored and 2.2 conceded per match. Over the full season, Union have registered 8 wins, 9 draws, and 15 losses, scoring 1.2 goals per game while conceding 1.8.

Defensive issues have been a recurring theme, with 10 goals conceded in their last three matches. Away from home, Union have lost six of their most recent trips, often finding themselves behind early — they have lost at half time in each of their last three away fixtures. Despite these struggles, their matches have been entertaining: both teams have scored in each of their last five games, and goals have flowed in the second half of nearly every recent outing.

• Over 0.5 goals in the second half in 21 of their last 22 matches.


• Both teams scored in the second half in their last 4 Bundesliga games.


• Haven’t won at half time in 19 of their last 20 league matches.

Union’s defensive fragility has been offset by their ability to find the net, making them a dangerous opponent even when out of form. Their attacking unit remains capable of creating chances, and with nothing to lose, they are likely to play with freedom in Mainz.

Head-to-Head and Match Outlook

Historically, this fixture has produced goals. The last six meetings between FSV Mainz 05 and FC Union Berlin have all seen both teams score, including a 2-2 draw in their most recent encounter on January 10, 2026. Across those six games, Mainz have averaged 1.2 goals per match while conceding 2.0. These statistics suggest another open contest could be on the cards.

With both sides showing defensive vulnerabilities but also a willingness to attack, the conditions are ideal for a high-scoring affair. Mainz’s home advantage and Union’s tendency to concede late could combine to produce an exciting, goal-filled match. The absence of relegation pressure should further encourage both teams to play offensively, making this a potentially entertaining fixture for neutral fans.
