Hamburger SV – Hertha Berlin : Preview & Prediction
Hertha Berlin suffered a major setback when they lost the first leg of their play-off at home (0-1) to a Reis goal shortly before the hour mark. The Bundesliga side will have to perform at the Volksparkstadion or risk relegation to the second tier. But Felix Magath’s side have not been particularly good away from home this season. In their last 12 away trips, Hertha Berlin have recorded just one win at Augsburg (1-0) on 16 April. Hamburg, on the other hand, are close to a return to the German top flight and are looking to continue their fine run of five wins in all competitions. Before their success in the first leg, Walter’s team had won four times in a row at Regensburg (4-2), at Ingolstadt (4-0), in front of Hanover (2-1) and at Rostock (3-2). All the signs are green for Hamburg, who only need a draw to return to the Bundesliga next season.
