Hamburg look to snap a poort run of results on Saturday when they travel to take on Mainz in the Bundesliga.
Hamburg are winless in five league matches, including last week's embarrassing home loss to bottom-three side Bochum. They have not won a match in the league since 4 October away to bottom side Hertha Berlin.
Mainz, meanwhile, sit sixth in the table - one spot behind Hamburg - after last week's hardfought 0-0 draw away to Borussia Dortmund. They have lost just one game in their last six league outings to help propel their rise in the standings.
Mainz will be without only a couple of long-term injuries on Saturday as Dimo Wache and Jan Kirchhoff continue to recover for a knee and Achilles injury, respectively.
Hamburg, however, continue to be plagued by injuries, as Zé Roberto, Bastian Reinhardt, Romeo Castelen and Mladen Petric are all again set to miss out for Bruno Labbadia's men.
Mainz have been a strong home team this year, and expect a good performance against a Hamburg side that is sliding the wrong way down the table.
