THE PREDICTION

Hertha have seen an upturn in results recently and backed up their 0-2 win away at Augsburg with a hard-fought 2-2 draw at home to Bayer Leverkusen last time out. They now travel to a Mainz outfit reeling on the back of being beaten 4-1 at the hands of Hoffenheim last time out. The host will be desperate to respond strongly and with home advantage in their favour, expect them to push bodies forward at every opportunity with a very offensive style of play. However, whilst this may see them profit in front of goal, Hertha represents a significant attacking threat themselves having netted twice in each of their last two. With that in mind, backing both teams to score has to be favoured regardless of who picks up the points.
