Mainz Hertha Berlin match preview

Before this mutual duel in the 7th round of Bundesliga, both teams can be satisfied with what has been done so far. Especially Hertha, which was in third place on the table and has lost only once, while they mastered the big Bayern in the last round. Mainz has won five points less, but they are in the middle of the table and that is for the team of this quality quite well, although they are three rounds without a win and have not scored any goals. Last season Mainz has defeated Hertha at home with 1-0 on both occasions.

Mainz 05

Mainz has started the season with two home wins and a draw against Nurnberg, but they are now in a series of two guest defeats and a home draw. They can look for justification in the quality of their opponents, because they played against Bayer in Leverkusen and Schalke, and lost both duels with 1-0, which means they did not perform well and with little luck they could have ended up with a draw. Against Wolfsburg they played 0-0 on their home field and they were saved by goalkeeper F.Muller from that defeat.

They did not score any goals in three previous games, and with only four goals they were one of the most inevitable teams in the league. Coach Schwarz has tried to improve the game with various changes and after a draw with Wolfsburg he made a series of changes for their match in Gelsenkirchen. Injuries also dictate these changes, especially in the back line, where Aaron returns. Burkardt could play instead of Quaison in the attack.

Probable lineups Mainz 05: F.Muller – Mwene, Bell, Niakhate, Aaron – Kunde – Gbamin, Ri.Baku – Oztunali, Burkardt – Mateta

Hertha BSC

Hertha continues with surprisingly good performances, and it seems that the culmination was the victory over the current champion Bayern in the last round. Before that, Hertha has managed to defeat Schalke and Borussia M'gladbach, which are also very unpleasant, but they have proven they can parry the best teams against the Bavarians. They were set tactically in that match and eventually they did not allow their opponent to score, which was also a great success against the mighty Bayern.

It was not to be expected after they received two goals on their field with Wolfsburg, as well as in the victory over Borussia M’gladbach, while they received three goals in the first this season’s defeat from Werder in Bremen. That defeat has preceded a triumph over the current champion, which was ruled by the first team’s shooter Ibisevic, when he scored from a penalty, and all the better midfielder Duda, who has because of the injuries missed almost complete last season. After their defeat against Bremen, coach Dardai has made four changes, one of which was forced because of the injuries of Jarstein, who is now returning, as well as Plattenhardt on the left back, and this is likely to be the only change in the composition.

Probable lineups Hertha BSC: Jarstein – Lazaro, Stark, Rekik, Plattenhardt – Skjelbred, Maier – Kalou, Duda, Dilrosun – Ibisevic

Verdict:

Despite the fact that Hertha is playing better than Mainz this season, we do not expect the guests to dominate this game. Mainz is undefeated on their field and we expect them to remain so after this game, with the proviso that a draw seems like a fairly realistic outcome.
