German 2.Bundesliga
2025-08-10 - Hertha Berlin vs Karlsruher-SC
A Sports Betting Pick by Niko
Football ; Germany : 2.Bundesliga
Olympic Stadium – Berlin
Sunday, 10th August 2025 - kickoff 13:30 CET
Hertha Berlin
Hertha Berlin kicked off their 2. Bundesliga season with a 2-1 loss away to Schalke 04. They conceded twice within the first 25 minutes and could not get back into the game. Defensively, Hertha Berlin looked exposed, and injuries have also been an issue.
Back home now, Hertha Berlin will be eager to turn things around in front of their fans at the Olympic Stadium. They must show more defensive discipline and sharpen their attack. Their squad is talented, but they need to put it all together to avoid sliding further down the table early on.
One motivation for Hertha Berlin is that they beat Karlsruher SC twice last season, both identical 3-1 wins at home and away.
Karlsruher SC
Karlsruher SC kicked off their season with a 3-2 home win against Preussen Munster, and that result gave them a good confidence boost.
They showed they can score goals, but also gave away too many chances at the back. It’s clear Karlsruher SC likes to play attacking football, but their defense still needs work.
Going to Berlin won’t be easy, especially against a team like Hertha at home. If Karlsruher SC can keep their defense tighter and attack with the same energy as last week, they might get something out of this trip.
The Betting Verdict
Hertha Berlin will want to bounce back hard after losing their opener, and playing at home gives them a slight edge.
Karlsruher SC can score, but their defense isn’t solid enough to handle the pressure Hertha Berlin will put on.
I expect Hertha Berlin to control most of the game and take all three points here.
The Pick :
Hertha Berlin 2-1 Karlsruher SC
