Hertha Berlin
Hertha Berlin have been inconsistent in the 2.Bundesliga this season and are sitting just above mid-table.
The Berliners have picked up mixed results lately, with only one win in their last six outings, showing a bit of a wobble after earlier promise.
It seems like they are out of the promotion race, trailing 10 points behind the third spot before this round. Still, there are 11 games to go, and nothing is certain in 2.Bundesliga, but it is obvious they have lost breath.
Hertha Berlin lost their last two games with 2-3 against Hannover 96 and 5-2 against SC Paderborn, so they are very leaky at the back.
Still, Hertha Berlin has a potent attack, having scored twice or more in all of their last five 2.Bundesliga games.
Nürnberg
Nürnberg is four points behind Hertha Berlin, so they are stable at mid-table. They are far below the quality necessary for promotion, but are good enough to remain clear of the danger zone. A classic mid-table team.
They arrive in this game off the back of an up-and-down run themselves, often showing flashes of quality but lacking the consistency to climb the table sharply.
Nürnberg beat Karlsruher SC 5-1 and drew 1-1 against VfL Bochum last week, which gives them confidence before this trip.
Nürnberg’s goal tally is almost similar to Hertha Berlin’s, but one area where they are strikingly bad is away performances. Nürnberg is the second-worst away team in 2.Bundesliga, currently winless in five away matches, having lost four straight and drawn once.
The Betting Verdict
Hertha Berlin is winless in five at home, drawing three and losing two. The pressure is high on them to deliver, and I think they will respond properly here.
A home win will not only restore Hertha Berlin’s confidence, but it may also keep their hopes alive for the third spot, which seems distant at the moment.
Goals at both ends are likely, but I recommend taking the valuable odds on Hertha Berlin's home win in this match.
