Berlin (dpa) - Hertha BSC did not leave the place as a loser three times.
This mini-series gives Berliners a new feeling of elation.
In Mainz 05, a relegation candidate comes to the Olympic Stadium on Tuesday (8.30 p.m. / Sky).
"We want the maximum number of points," says coach Bruno Labbadia.
INITIAL SITUATION: For Hertha things are moving slowly.
The team has been unbeaten for three games.
With a win, the gap to the upper half of the table should be closed.
Mainz needs every meter in the basement.
Mainz is often an unpleasant opponent for Hertha.
Three of the last six home games were lost, including the last game in the Olympic Stadium on February 8, 2020. After the 1: 3, Jürgen Klinsmann threw spectacularly as a coach.
STAFF: Matheus Cunha returns to the Hertha offensive after his yellow card suspension.
The short break did the Brazilian good to cure a few ailments.
Dilrosun or Darida must now give way.
There is much to suggest that it will hit the Czech.
Dilrosun convinced against Union and Gladbach with the tempo dribbles required by Labbadia.

QUOTE: Michael Preetz: "We will all have a quiet Christmas this year, that has nothing to do with the points gained."
The Hertha manager when asked whether victories of the Berlin Bundesliga club against Mainz 05 and at SC Freiburg would bring him a quiet Christmas.
SPECIAL: For Mainz coach Lichte it is the tenth game as head coach and already the second trip to Berlin.
But he doesn't have fond memories of his debut in the capital.
At Hertha's city rivals Union there was a 0: 4 in early October.
At the time, many were certain: the native of North Hesse would not stay long.
But Lichte calmed the Mainz situation and still has the backing of the bosses.
