Hertha BSC will host Mainz on Saturday - Bundesliga

In Bundesliga action this weekend, Hertha Berlin will host Mainz at the Olympiastadion on Friday evening.

Hertha are enjoying a good run at the moment in their race for survival. They were held to a 1-1 draw by fellow relegation battlers Arminia Bielefeld last time out. They will be gutted not to have picked up all three points, as they conceded a late equaliser. Hertha are 15th in the league table with 33 points from 32 games. They will confirm their top-flight safety with a win this weekend.

Mainz, meanwhile, returned to winning ways in style last weekend after a torrid month. They beat league winners Bayern Munich 3-1 at the Opel Arena on Saturday and perhaps deserved to have won by a bigger margin, as they dominated the champions.

Mainz sit mid-table in ninth place with 42 points from 32 games. They can no longer secure European football but will look to end the season on a high.

There have been 27 meetings between Hertha and Mainz. The hosts have won eight of those games, while Mainz have won nine. There have been ten draws between the two teams. The two sides last faced off in a league clash in December last year, which Mainz won 4-0.

Hertha Berlin vs Mainz Prediction

Hertha are on a three-game unbeaten streak, their best run of form since November last year. They will look to continue their good run as they target safety this weekend.

Mainz's latest result, meanwhile, ended their five-game winless streak, marking their first win in over a month. They have an atrocious record away from home this season, though, and could lose this weekend.

Prediction: Hertha Berlin 2-1 Mainz.
