In the match of the 18th round of the Bundesliga in the Berlin derby, Hertha will host Union on its field.
"Herta"Sandro Schwartz's team is in a very weak form and lost for the second consecutive match.
The day before yesterday, Hertha suffered a crushing defeat against Wolfsburg with a score of 0:5. The Berlin team played a very weak match and scored only two shots on the opponent's goal during the whole meeting. At the same time, Hertha conceded three goals before the break.
After this disastrous meeting, 14 points remained in the asset of "Herta" and thus the team of Sandro Schwartz settled in 17th place in the standings.
"Union"And Urs Fischer's team, in turn, won the second consecutive victory in the Bundesliga.
Last night, Union won a strong-willed victory over Werder Bremen on the road, the meeting ended with a score of 2:1. Werder opened the score in the match already in the 13th minute, but the Berlin club showed character and fought back already in the 18th minute due to an accurate strike by Janik Haberer. At the end of the first half, Union could have already taken the lead, but the goal in the 42nd minute was canceled due to a hand play from Sheraldo Becker. However, at the very beginning of the second half, the Berlin club still scored the second goal according to all the rules. In the 46th minute, Kevin Behrens sent the ball into the opponent's goal from Josip Yuranovich's pass. Next, Union played the score correctly and thus Urs Fischer's team deservedly took three points from Bremen.
After this match, Union scored 33 points, and thus Urs Fischer's team took a clean second place in the standings.
Between themselves, Union and Hertha last played on the sixth of August as part of the first round of the Bundesliga. Then "Union" turned out to be stronger on its own field with a score of 3:1.
ForecastIn this match, "Union" is quite rightly considered the bookmakers' favorite.
At the same time, "Herta" of course must do everything possible to hook at least a draw and score an important point in the fight for survival. "Union" needs to win and continue to fight for a place in the Champions League. As a result, we expect a hard fight, where both teams can show good attacking football for themselves, and therefore we suggest that you bet on "both teams will score".
