SV Elversberg
SV Elversberg finally ended their three-game winless run with a confidence-boosting 1-3 away win against Kaiserslautern last weekend. That win put them second in 2.Bundesliga, only a point behind the leaders, Schalke 04.
SV Elversberg should be very motivated to repeat last week’s winning performance with the top spot in their sights. Overall, they are a consistent side, solid defensively, and top of that – they are the best attacking side in 2.Bundesliga with 37 goals scored in 20 games.
Another impressive fact to take into consideration – SV Elversberg is unbeaten at home this season! They won five and drew four of their nine home matches in the 2.Bundesliga.
Hertha Berlin
It may sound a bit crazy, but Hertha Berlin has drawn all their last five 2.Bundesliga games! Their last two against Karlsruher SC and SV Darmstadt 98 both ended in identical 2-2.
Being winless in six doesn’t make Hertha Berlin look like a Bundesliga contender, even though they are only seven points behind the promotion spots. I believe they do not have the capacity to battle for promotion… yet. They should finish somewhere close to the top 5-6 teams, but are unlikely to smell the Bundesliga promotion this season.
Hertha Berlin’s Polish attacking midfielder, Dawid Kownacki, received a straight red card last week and is suspended. He has been a joker from the bench this season, scoring three goals and assisting once in six appearances.
The Betting Verdict
SV Elversberg has four 2.Bundesliga wins in a row against Hertha Berlin, but they were convincingly beaten 3-0 by Hertha Berlin in their most recent cup game at the end of October.
Things have changed since then, and SV Elversberg has been a more reliable side. They are unbeaten at home, restored their confidence with the big away win last week, and I believe they are closer to winning here.
The odds on the home win look valuable early, so back SV Elversberg to collect the three points.
The Pick :
SV Elversberg 2-1 Hertha Berlin
