Hertha Berlin – Hoffenheim : Preview & Prediction
In the framework of the 27th day of the Bundesliga, Hertha Berlin hosts Hoffenheim. For the home team, the crisis does not stop and this team continues to sink to the bottom of the table. Indeed, this team is currently in second to last place in the standings, equal on points with the play-offs Stuttgart. The Hertha players have lost 8 of their last 9 games. The players from the capital are on a catastrophic run of 5 consecutive defeats against Greuther Fürth (2-1), Leipzig (1-6), Freiburg (3-0), Eintracht Frankfurt (1-4) and Borussia Mönchengladbach (2-0) last weekend.
On the visitors’ side, things are going well because they have won 4 of their last 5 games, which allows them to occupy the 6th place, equal on points with 4th-placed Leipzig and only 1 point behind the 3rd-placed team. Since then, the 4 victories came against Arminia (2-0), Wolfsburg (1-2), Stuttgart (2-1) and Cologne (0-1) before an important draw against leader Munich (1-1 last weekend. The race for the top four is going to be fascinating and we will have to be solid, especially in the tricky games like the one coming up.
Hoffenheim won the first leg (2-0).
Hoffenheim has won 4 of the last 5 meetings.
Hertha’s last win came on 18 December.
Hoffenheim’s record in the last 10 games is worrying, with two draws and eight defeats, five of which were in a row.
Hoffenheim have the opportunity to move back into the top four with a win, as they have the same number of points as their two closest rivals. Motivation will be key.
In this match, we should see an unbalanced game between two teams at the opposite end of the table. On the one hand, Hertha Berlin can’t do it and does not win anymore, which pushes them to the bottom of the table. On the other hand, Hoffenheim is in very good shape and has its sights set on the top 4 for a Champions League qualification at the end of the season. Superior in all aspects of the game with a morale and motivation far superior to their opponents of the day, we should see Hoffenheim players win.
