Hertha Berlin take on Mainz 05 at the Olympiastadion Berlin in round 24 of the German Bundesliga on Saturday. Die Nullfünfer are currently on a seven-game unbeaten run against the hosts and will look to extend this fine run.
Hertha Berlin suffered yet another away defeat in the Bundesliga as they were thrashed 4-1 by Bayer Leverkusen last Sunday. Sandro Schwarz’s men have lost their last seven away games in the league, stretching back to a 1-1 draw against Mainz in September’s reverse fixture.
With 20 points from 23 matches, Hertha Berlin are currently 14th in the Bundesliga table, one point above the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Mainz 05 continued their quest for a place in Europe as they picked up a hard-fought 1-0 win over Hoffenheim last time out.
Bo Svensson’s side have won their last four matches, their longest run of consecutive wins since also notching up four straight victories between July and August 2021.
With 35 points from 23 matches, Mainz are currently seventh in the Bundesliga table, four points off the Conference League qualification spot.

Hertha vs Mainz Team News
With the attacking trio of Wilfried Kanga, Kelian Nsona and Chidera Ejuke still sidelined due to injury, the recent return of Stevan Jovetic is a big bonus for Hertha Berlin.
Jovetic missed nine league clashes between November and February before coming off the bench in each of the last two matches, so the former Manchester City striker looks set to make another on Saturday.
At the opposite end of the pitch, Oliver Christensen is expected to continue between the sticks, despite keeping just three clean sheets in 23 Bundesliga games this season.
Mainz 05 have injury problems of their own, with Jonathan Burkardt, Marlon Mustapha, Brajan Gruda and Karim Onisiwo set to miss the trip to the capital.
Having bagged eight goals and four assists in 24 appearances across all competitions this season, Onisiwo is a big miss for the 05ers, who will likely continue with Ludovic Ajorque up front.
With 17 goals and three assists between them this term, Marcus Ingvartsen and Lee Jae-sung will support Ajorque in attack.
Hertha vs Mainz Lineups
Hertha Berlin:

Mainz:
Zentner; Hanche-Olsen, Bell, Fernandes; Da Costa, Barreiro, Stach, Caci; Ingvartsen, Lee; Ajorque
Hertha vs Mainz Odds
We say: Hertha Berlin 0-2 Mainz 05
In addition to winning each of their last four league games – and five of their previous six – Mainz head into Saturday’s showdown on the back of successive clean sheets.
With that in mind, we expect the 05ers to extend their winning streak to five matches with a third consecutive clean-sheet victory, piling more pressure on relegation-threatened Hertha.
