Hertha Berlin

LLLWLL

Hertha Berlin won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 0-5 Bundesliga 1 defeat last time out to VfL Wolfsburg.

In that game, Hertha Berlin managed 42% possession and 8 shots on goal with 2 on target. Wolfsburg had 17 shots at goal with 7 on target. Mattias Svanberg (4'), Maximilian Arnold (31'), Jonas Wind (34'), Ridle Baku (72') and Omar Marmoush (86') scored for VfL Wolfsburg.

It’s been seldom in recent games that Hertha Berlin haven’t conceded. It will be a concern for them that Hertha Berlin have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 14 goals during that time. That kind of pattern might not be carried forward into this match, however.

Heading into this fixture, Hertha Berlin have left without a victory over Union Berlin in their last 4 matches in the league.

Union Berlin

Union Berlin go into this match following on from a 1-2 Bundesliga 1 win vs Werder Bremen in their last fixture.

The numbers tell their own story, and Union Berlin have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 13 goals overall. At the back, Union Berlin could really do with shoring things up.
