Mainz vs Hertha Berlin Prediction & Betting tips
Mainz 05 and Hertha BSC are linked in the fourth round. What can we expect from this competition?
Mainz 05:
Mainz 05 has a bad start to the new Bundesliga year. The club from Rhine-Hesse is at the bottom of the ranking after three matches. Die Nullfünfer did not score points yet, and moreover there are already twelve goals in the books. Mainz lost a lot last week, visiting Bayern Munich. Mainz stepped into the Allianz Arena with a 6-1 defeat. Yet there is no reason for blind panic. In the first two lost duels, given the game image, more would have been possible.
It is of course important to convert reasonable game into goals and points. Mainz is not without worries in that regard, given that Jean-Philippe Mateta will be out of circulation for a long time. Adam Szalai was hired just before the transfer deadline expired. In Munich he still had to do it with a raid, but on Saturday a basic place seems to be possible. Jeremiah St. Juste and Jean-Paul Boëtius may also start.
Hertha BSC:
Hertha Berlin is currently not doing much better than Mainz. The capitals only have one point after three matches. On the previous match day, things went wrong in Gelsenkirchen, visiting Schalke 04. Hertha was certainly not kicked out, but defensive errors led to a defeat. Niklas Stark and Karim Rekik both made their own goal, putting Hertha behind 2-0. It was finally lost 3-0.
In order not to turn it into a season full of relegation concerns, Hertha would do well to grab points quickly. The coming period lends itself well to this, with opponents such as Mainz 05, SC Paderborn, FC Köln and Fortuna Düsseldorf. Marius Wolf came from Borussia Dortmund before the deadline. He can start immediately on Saturday. Unlike his last period in Dortmund, Wolf will no longer play as a right back, but as a midfielder.
