They seem to miss Kade, Duda and Rekik because of the injuries.

My tip for Hertha Berlin vs Mainz
Hertha is the better team and this is also seen through the prism of the leaderboard, she is 5 points higher than her opponent and besides, she will have the advantage of her own court.
At home, the band in the German capital was a losing weight, losing just 3 of the 11 games there and only against Schalke did not score at least once in the first 70 minutes.
It relies on offensive players such as Lazaro, Selke or Kalou who think I can make the difference anytime.
Mainz is a modest band, in the penultimate position and has the weakest defensive cologne in the first German league.
She is on the ground especially in trips where she could not be forced to be defeated in 7 of the 11 duels she had and in all these 11 foreign games she received at least a goal in the first 70 minutes.
Hertha scored at least one goal in the 70th minute in three of the last four straight meetings with Mainz on the Olympiastadion
