On Friday night, Hertha Berlin host Mainz at the Olympiastadion, as the visitors attempt to move clear of the relegation zone.
Hertha Berlin are enjoying an inconsistent campaign so far and are currently 11th place in the table. However, Pal Dardai’s side are just six points behind the European spots.
The home side are unbeaten in four Bundesliga games, having lost just one of their last eight league games.
Hertha’s recent Bundesliga games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last five league games, including last time out when they won 2-0 at Bayer Leverkusen.
The team from the German capital are currently unbeaten in their last three home games in the Bundesliga. However, their last two Bundesliga games have finished all square. Both teams have scored in Hertha’s last six home games in the Bundesliga.
Hertha have won three of their last four meetings with Mainz on home soil in all competitions.
Mainz have struggled to find form of late in the Bundesliga. In fact, the visitors are currently in the relegation play-off spot in the German top-flight.
A run of one win in their last ten league outings has contributed majorly to the team’s poor league position in the table. Another key factor in their recent poor run of form and results is their poor defensive record, as they have conceded at least two goals in their last ten Bundesliga outings.
Mainz’s recent record on their travels in the Bundesliga has been woeful, as the visitors have failed to win in 17 games on their travels in the German top-flight, while also conceding at least two goals in their last six away games in the league.
Forebet predicts that Hertha Berlin will record a victory to move closer to the European spots and leave Mainz struggling at the wrong end of the Bundesliga table.
