On a Friday night, one game in German Bundesliga is going to happen between Mainz and Hertha. After five games, Mainz is in a better situation as the team has got 3 wins and 10 points in total while Hertha has won only one game and collected 5 points. Last round Mainz lost to Hoffenheim (1:4) while Hertha played 2:2 against Bayer 04. Interesting that both teams have almost identical scoring stats. Both teams have scored 6 goals, Mainz has conceded 9 while Hertha - 8. Yes, Mainz has conceded more goals than Hertha but 7 out of 9 were in two games versus Hoffenheim and Bayer 04. Hertha only has one game with a clean sheet.

This is the best start for Mainz since 2010/2011. Not only Mainz lost the last game, but they also had a red card meaning that Alexander Hack won't be able to help his team while forward Jonathan Burkardt got injured. So far this season Mainz has played two games at home but hasn't won yet. It isn't something to panic about because a draw was against the best team in Bundesliga right now Union Berlin but admitted defeat to the UEFA Champions League team Bayer 04. Mainz is playing very well at home which was proved last season when the team won 10 out of 17 home games and collected at home 35 out of 46 total points.

Hertha started the season very badly because in 4 game stretch the team lost 3 games and draw 1. When playing on the road, the team has got 2 losses and 1 win. Last season Hertha was 4th worst team on the road with a goal ratio of 13 to 38.

Mainz has a good record at home against Hertha Berlin, having not lost any of the last seven meetings in which they also managed five clean sheets. Not having a single win at home will be a key factor that is going to motivate players even more. This is a great opportunity for the team to get the first win and with the upcoming international break, it is important to finish the last game well.

在一个周五的晚上，德甲的一场比赛将在美因茨和赫塔之间进行。经过5场比赛，美因茨队取得了3胜10分的成绩，而赫塔队只取得了1胜5分的成绩。上一轮美因茨以1:4不敌霍芬海姆，赫塔以2:2不敌拜耳04。有趣的是，两支球队的得分数据几乎一样。两支球队都进了6球，美因茨丢了9球，赫塔丢了8球。是的，美因茨丢球比赫塔多，但9球中有7球是在对阵霍芬海姆和拜耳04的两场比赛中丢的。赫塔只有一场比赛没有失球。

这是美因茨自2010/2011年以来最好的开局。美因茨不仅输掉了上一场比赛，而且他们还吃了一张红牌，这意味着亚历山大·哈克将无法帮助他的球队，前锋乔纳森·Burkardt也受伤了。本赛季到目前为止，美因茨已经在主场打了两场比赛，但还没有赢过。这并不是什么值得恐慌的事情，因为这场平局的对手是目前德甲最好的球队柏林联盟，但却输给了欧冠球队拜耳04。美因茨在主场踢得非常好，这在上赛季得到了证明，当时球队在17场主场比赛中赢得了10场比赛，并在主场拿到了46分中的35分。

赫塔的赛季开局非常糟糕，因为在4场比赛中球队输了3场1平。在客场比赛中，该队2负1胜。上赛季赫塔的净胜率为13比38，在客场排名第四。

美因茨在主场对阵柏林赫塔的战绩不错，在过去的7次交锋中，他们没有输过一场比赛，而且他们也有5次零封对手。没有一场主场胜利将是激励球员的关键因素。这对球队来说是获得第一场胜利的绝佳机会，而且随着国际比赛日的到来，把最后一场比赛打好是很重要的。
