Hertha BSC welcomes
1. FSV Mainz 05 in the
22nd round of Germans Bundesliga. FSV Mainz won the first season duel ended with 2:1 through goals from Andreas Ivanschitz and Aristide Bancé. The Hertha goal scored Maximilian Nicu.
Table last Hertha BSC needs urgently points to stay in the Bundesliga also next season. At the moment they are 8 points behind a non-relegating place, but the Berlins draw hope from the achievement in spring season. Hertha BSC starts with 3:0 at Hannover 96 followed by two draws against Mönchengladbach and Bochum. The last round brought a 1:2 defeat at Werder Bremen. It was the first defeat in spring season. Hertha BSC has won only 1 game at the Olympia Stadium so far, in fact on 8 August, 2009 against Hannover. Since that time they are without a Bundesliga home victory.
In contrast to Hertha BSC their Saturday opponent 1. FSV Mainz should not be involved in the struggle against relegation. Tuchel´s side have 30 points and faces rank 8. Even the qualification for the UEFA Europa League seems possible. At the moment they are 6 points behind Hamburger SV (4th) and Borussia Dortmund (5th). If Mainz becomes stronger in away games they have good prospects. FSV Mainz has won 1 away game in the running championship (1 win, 3 draws, 7 defeats). Therewith they are the second weakest away team of the league.
