Hertha Berlin
It’s too little too late for Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga promotion battle. They are 7 points behind the third spot with four games left, but are unlikely to end up there unless something miraculous happens.
Still, 2.Bundesliga is highly unpredictable, and Hertha Berlin will certainly go for as many wins as possible to keep their slim chances alive.
They only drew 1-1 with Eintracht Braunschweig last week and lost 0-1 at home to Kaiserslautern the week before, which puts more pressure on them to win this game against relegation-threatened Holstein Kiel.
Hertha Berlin must respond at home, where they managed just one win in the last six games. However, they have to do it without their defensive midfielder and captain Kennet Eichhorn, who was red-carded last week.
Holstein Kiel
Holstein Kiel revived their form dramatically in recent weeks. The relegation pressure made them respond well, going unbeaten in four straight games and winning three.
They climbed up four points above the relegation places, but are still in big trouble.
One more win in theory should be enough until the end, and they have a fantastic chance for that in their direct duel against bottom rivals Eintracht Braunschweig next week.
Holstein Kiel has not beaten Hertha Berlin in any of their three 2.Bundesliga duels so far, losing twice and drawing once.
The Betting Verdict
Both teams have their calculations, but I would side with the Berliners here.
Overall, they have the better squad, even though Holstein Kiel are in a bit better form.
It should be a close game, likely with goals in both nets, but I would go with a home win for Hertha Berlin.
