Sunday's Bundesliga predictions including Union Berlin vs. Mainz

Union Berlin vs. Mainz (Sunday, 2.30pm)

Union Berlin's clash against visitors Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga on Sunday at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei could significantly impact both the relegation battle and race for Champions League football.

The home side are sixth last in 13th place with 17 points and their 2-0 defeat against Augsburg on January 15 left them just three points and three places above the relegation playoff spot, whereas Mainz are sixth with 28 points and are just two points from the Champions League places.

We say: Union Berlin 0-2 Mainz 05

It is difficult to overlook the impressive form of the visitors despite their defeat last time out, and they should be confident of victory.

Union have struggled in the final third this season, and it would not be surprising if Mainz managed to keep their hosts at bay on Sunday.

Werder Bremen vs. Augsburg (Sunday, 4.30pm)

Werder Bremen are set host Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Sunday at Weserstadion in a match that could impact the race for European football.

The home team are ninth with 26 points and were held to a 3-3 draw by Heidenheim on January 15, while the visitors are 12th with 19 points and beat Union Berlin 2-0 on Wednesday.

We say: Werder Bremen 3-1 Augsburg

Augsburg's defensive record has not been particularly strong in recent weeks, and it is difficult to see them keeping a clean sheet.

While Werder Bremen have been porous defensively themselves, their impressive goalscoring exploits should make them strong favourites on Sunday.
