Mainz vs Hertha Prediction: the Hosts to Win

Prediction for the Bundesliga Mainz vs Hertha match, which will take place on September 16. Who will win? Check the teams' conditions! Also, several betting options are available.

Last round, Mainz lost to Hoffenheim 1:4. Kohr scored their only goal in the 83rd minute. Note that the 05ers played ten men for 41 minutes, Hack was suspended for a delay, and Kramaric failed to convert the penalty but scored a goal at the beginning of the second half. Before the defeat by Hoffenheim, Mainz beat Gladbach on the road. The team has a total of 10 points after six games. Should they win on Friday, Mainz will move up to the third place for at least 24 hours. Mainz has a negative goal difference, although the future hosts are in the UEFA Cups.

After the four rounds of the Bundesliga, Hertha has only one point. The Berliners got another four in the last two rounds, beating Augsburg away and playing in a draw with Bayer at home. That helped the Berlin side break out of the relegation zone, defeating Bayer and Wolfsburg. In general, note the interesting configuration of the teams after the sixth round, with Union and Freiburg in the lead and Bayer and Wolves in the relegation zone. Hertha's away stats are 14th in the league, +1=0-2, and 3:4 goal difference.

Mainz occupies the sixth, relatively high place in the Bundesliga standings, but solely thanks to the achievements in away matches. On their field, the team had two games: a draw with Union and a smashing defeat by Bayer. Logically, the '05ers would like to improve and win at home for the first time this season, especially since the opponents are not the strongest, Hertha, who lost both matches to Mainz last season.
