Union Berlin host bottom-placed Mainz in one of the only three early Saturday fixtures on matchday 16. Similar to the two postponed games, the clash at Alten Försterei had to go through inspection due to the unfavorable weather conditions.
Former Augsburg striker Phillip Tietz will make his debut from the start for Urs Fischer’s Mainz. Mainz's new boss knows his opponents too well, having had a hugely successful spell at Union Berlin. Livan Burcu is handed a surprise start by the hosts.
Here are the two lineups for the early Saturday clash.
