Hertha Berlin – Stuttgart : Preview & Prediction
For the 31st day of the Bundesliga, Hertha Berlin hosts Stuttgart. For the home team, the end of the season looks very complicated. Indeed, this team occupies the 15th place with only 1 point ahead of their opponents of the day and therefore of the red zone. After their unexpected victory against Hoffenheim (3-0), the Berliners lost twice against Leverkusen (2-1) and then Union Berlin (1-4). Following these two defeats, Hertha players were not very confident when they played against a confident Augsburg team. Despite this, they managed to snatch a very important victory (0-1) in the race for survival.
Stuttgart, on the other hand, are likely to face an eventful end to the season and will need to be solid to avoid relegation. The Swabians are currently in 16th place, the play-off position, but have only one point back on Hertha. The Stuttgart players have not won for 3 games, including a frustrating draw against Arminia (1-1), a logical defeat against Dortmund (0-2) before picking up a precious point at Mainz (0-0) last week. This team has 4 games left to get out of the red zone and avoid the descent into the 2nd division.
In the first leg, the two teams drew 2-2.
Stuttgart have drawn three of their last three away games.
1 out of 3 Stuttgart games have ended in a draw.
Stuttgart’s last 3 games have ended with less than 2.5 goals.
In this bottom-of-the-table clash, we should see a very competitive but close game. Indeed, both teams are neck and neck for the Bundesliga championship. These two teams will not take any risk with 4 games to go. Therefore, we should not see many goals and the under 2.5 goals side at 1.74 is a possibility. Nevertheless, considering the stakes and the last few tight games offered by Stuttgart we would not be surprised to see a draw. That is why we are assuming a draw between these two teams.
