Hertha to record vital win over Mainz
Hertha BSC vs Mainz - 08/02/2020
2068
Hertha Berlin are looking to move up the German Bundesliga table after a poor start to their campaign. The appointment of former Die Mannschaft head coach Jurgen Klinsmann has improved things slightly in the capital.
What would improve Hertha’s situation in the German top-flight would be a home win over struggling Mainz on Saturday afternoon.
A 0-0 draw against Schalke last time out means that Hertha have lost just one of their last seven matches in the Bundesliga. Despite the relatively decent run of form in the league, Klinsmann’s team are still only six points clear of the relegation play-off spot.
One of the biggest factors in Hertha’s poor Bundesliga campaign so far has been their impotent attack. Only city rivals Union and Fortuna Dusseldorf have scored fewer goals than the home side in the Bundesliga this season.
Everybody connected with the club will be hoping that Polish striker Krzysztof Piatek can find the solution to the goal shortage after his club-record move from AC Milan in the January transfer window. The 24-year-old could make his full debut in this clash, with his only appearance so far for the club coming in a cameo last time out.
Mainz heads to the capital just a point clear of the relegation play-off spot and two clear of the relegation zone.
A 3-1 home defeat against reigning champions Bayern Munich last time out in the Bundesliga means that the visitors have suffered four straight defeats.
The visitor’s perilous position has mainly been caused by poor defensive displays. No team has conceded more goals in the German top-flight this season. Those poor defensive displays have been on full display of late in the Bundesliga, as they have conceded at least two goals in five of their last seven league matches.
Forebet predicts that Mainz will produce another poor defensive display in this clash to suffer a potentially costly defeat in the capital.
