Hertha Berlin

It’s often difficult to evaluate Hertha Berlin properly. They are only five points behind the third Bundesliga promotion playoff spot, yet personally, they do not look like serious contenders.

Still, their recent form has been respectable, with Hertha Berling going unbeaten in six 2.Bundesliga matches, drawing five straight and convincingly beating SV Elversberg 0-3 away last week.

During midweek, they crashed out of the DFB Cup after playing 1-1 with SC Freiburg and losing on penalties.

Overall, this season Hertha Berlin scores at a decent rate, and their matches tend to see goals — four of their last six had both teams on the scoresheet.

Head-to-head data suggests they have an edge over Hannover 96. Hertha Berlin are currently unbeaten in five straight duels against Hannover 96 and beat them 0-3 in their first league duel of the season last September.

Hannover 96

Hannover 96 are just above Hertha Berlin on the 2.Bundesliga table, sitting fifth with four points advantage over them.

Their recent form has been strong: Hannover 96 have won both at HT/FT in each of their last three 2.Bundesliga matches, recording a convincing 3-1 win over Holstein Kiel in their latest match.

Hannover 96 also scores regularly and sees plenty of action in their matches. There were 3+ goals in 17 of their last 19 games in the 2.Bundesliga.

The Betting Verdict

This top-six clash features two sides with similar ambitions and balanced recent form.

With both teams averaging close to two goals per game and frequent over 2.5 goals outcomes in recent matches for both sides, this fixture looks likely to produce goals at both ends.

Defensively, neither team is rock-solid, and previous meetings often saw a number of chances and shared pressure.

My main bet recommendation is both teams to score. If you are seeking other markets, I think there is a slightly higher likelihood of a draw or a narrow Hannover 96 win given their current league position and recent results.
