Union hit four past Mainz in the reverse fixture, can they do it again, as visitors on Saturday?
Mainz is seven points behind Arminia Bielefeld in the relegation play-off spot after suffering a third straight defeat in the Bundesliga last Friday. The 2-0 loss to VfB Stuttgart may have come at a further cost with striker Robin Quaison taken off in the first half with a knee injury. Jonathan Burkardt is set to step in, with Robert Glatzel not yet available following his loan arrival from Cardiff City. Bo Svensson could welcome back Leonardo Barreiro and Daniel Brosinski from injury, although the arrivals of Danny da Costa and Dominik Kohr from Eintracht Frankfurt assuage the coach's need to rush them back.
Robin Quaison and Moussa Niakhate are Mainz's joint-top scorers this season with two apiece. Jean-Philippe Mateta was on seven, before his January move to English club Crystal Palace. Ten points from 19 matches represent an unwanted club record low return for Mainz. Of the eight previous teams to reach this stage in a season with a maximum of 10 points on the board, all were relegated.
Mainz: Zentner - St. Juste, Bell, Niakhate - da Costa, Barreiro, Kohr, Mwene - Latza (c) - Burkardt, Onisiwo
Out: -
Doubtful: Quaison (knee)
Coach: Bo Svensson
Goalkeeper Loris Karius made his first Bundesliga appearance since May 2016 when he came on for the last 20 minutes of Union's 1-1 draw with Borussia Mönchengladbach last Saturday. First-choice Andreas Luthe came off after a heavy collision but has been given the green light to play this weekend and should keep his place ahead of the Liverpool-owned man. Urs Fischer can call upon Christopher Trimmel and Florian Hübner, the pair returning from suspension, but Christopher Lenz, Grischa Prömel, and Sheraldo Becker lead a significant list of absentees.
Awoniyi has scored five of Union's 34 goals and is second only to Max Kruse (six) in the club scoring charts. The Liverpool-owned forward scored once in 12 league appearances whilst on loan at Mainz last season. Karius is another ex-Mainz player on loan at Union from Liverpool. He made his 92nd Bundesliga appearance last time out, but first for Union.
Union: Luthe - Friedrich, Knoche, Schlotterbeck - Trimmel (c), Gentner, Andrich, Gießelmann - Ingvartsen - Awoniyi, Teuchert
Out: Becker (ankle), Kruse (thigh), Lenz (muscular), Prömel (muscular), Ujah (knee)
Doubtful: -
Coach: Urs Fischer

Mainz have conceded 40 goals this term - second only to Schalke (46) - whilst keeping one clean sheet. Union could steal a valuable away win here.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
