Okazaki continues in attack for Mainz

Mainz 05 coach Thomas Tuchel has kept faith with Shinji Okazaki to lead the line for his side's trip to Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon.

For the hosts, coach Bert van Marwijk has named the same front four from the last game, with Pierre-Michel Lasogga leading the line with recently returned captain Rafael van der Vaart in behind.

Hamburg: Drobny; Rincon, Tah, Djourou, Jansen; Badelj, Arslan; Beister, Van der Vaart, Calhanoglu; Lasogga

Mainz: Karius; Pospech, Bell, Noveski, Park; Geis, Soto; Malli, Muller, Moritz; Okazaki
