Hertha Berlin v Arminia Bielefeld
Football; Germany: 2. Bundesliga

Hertha Berlin

Hertha Berlin was on a stunning run of seven straight wins recently. That run was cut short when they lost 0-2 to Magdeburg and played 3-3 against Greuther Furth last weekend.

They inexplicably dropped two valuable points last week, despite dominating most of the game. However, they opened too much and were ruthlessly punished.

Now they will look to bounce back against a poor side, against whom they are unbeaten in three duels (a win and two draws).

Regarding home games, Hertha Berlin won four in a row at home before losing their last home game against Magdeburg.

Arminia Bielefeld

Arminia Bielefeld played poorly in their last game against Kaiserslautern, which ended in a boring, goalless draw. That was their first point after three straight 2.Bundesliga defeats, but it did not help them much.

Arminia Bielefeld are in the lower part of the table, having a four-point advantage over the relegation zone and a superior goal difference over the bottom five teams. They are almost certain to stay clear of relegation this season, but I don’t expect much from them in the second part of the season.

One fact to keep in mind is that Arminia Bielefeld is the worst away team in the 2.Bundesliga. They failed to win any of their last six road games, losing four of their last five trips.

The Betting Verdict

Hertha Berlin is by far the better side overall and more motivated after failing to win against two weaker opponents in the past two weeks. This is also the last game of the year for Hertha Berlin, before they resume the season with a big game against the leaders, Schalke 04, in late January.

Arminia Bielefeld showed nothing in recent weeks, failed to win any of their last four, yet they are still comfortable.

I expect Hertha Berlin to dominate this game and record a clear home win before the winter break.
