Bundesliga 2022-23
 Mainz | vs |  Hertha Berlin |
Preview
The hosts, after 6 matches played, are in 6th place in the standings of the German championship with 10 points. The team scored 6 goals against the opponents, and conceded 9 into their own net.
Although Mainz have lost two of their last three Bundesliga games, this is still their best result at the start of a league season after six games since the 2010/11 season.
The (4-1) loss to Hoffenheim on Matchday 6 was only the second defeat of the season and the first on their trips after three consecutive wins.
Coach Bo Svensson, who has only one point in two home games, will quickly want to return to the team.
Last season, Mainz finished fourth in the best home team after scoring all but 11 of 45 points at the Meva Arena.
The guests were able to score only 5 points after 6 games and thus ended up in 15th place in the Bundesliga standings.
Now two games unbeaten, Hertha have somewhat rehabilitated themselves from a disastrous start when they picked up just one point over the first four rounds.
Their (2-2) draw against Bayer Leverkusen last weekend was their first game of the season that they didn’t lose after conceding first, but on the other hand, coach Sandro Schwartz won’t be happy with what his team lost lead in the second half.
It was still much better, so much so that Schwartz, who is getting to know his former club here, described the performance as “very satisfying”.
