Hertha Berlin Preview – Can Hertha Berlin put up stubborn resistance?

Although Hertha Berlin currently occupy a place in the bottom half of the Bundesliga ahead of this weekend’s action in the German top flight and have managed to capture just one win so far in this season’s campaign, but the hosts do bring a three-match unbeaten run into this upcoming clash on Sunday afternoon which they’ll be hoping to extend here.

A 2-0 win away from home at Augsburg was followed by points picked up in draws with Bayer Leverkusen and Mainz respectively and these recent results have kept Hertha Berlin’s heads above water so to speak as they hold a one-point cushion over the third from bottom placed club, Bayer Leverkusen.

However, the hosts know they need to get at least a point from this upcoming encounter if they’re to avoid being dragged down into the bottom three of the Bundesliga table but having recorded just the one win to date so far in this season’s campaign, Hertha Berlin look to have their work cut out on Sunday despite holding home advantage.

The bigger picture shows that Hertha Berlin have captured just one league win out of their last 10 domestic top flight fixtures while also slipping to five defeats within this period with defeats dealt out to them by Mainz, Borussia Dortmund, Union Berlin, Borussia M’gladbach and Borussia Dortmund, the latter three losses being incurred this season.

In addition, Hertha Berlin have won just two of their last 12 home games in the Bundesliga which also includes seven defeats along with losing three out of the previous four meetings against Hoffenheim in recent exchanges between these two clubs.

The hosts are set to be without a number of players for this clash with Jean-Paul Boetius diagnosed with a tumor along with Marc-Oliver Kempf being sidelined with an ankle injury; Linus Gechter, Suat Serdar nd David Selke are all doubts due to illness while Derry Scherhandt is battling a muscle injury.

Hoffenheim Preview – Can Hoffenheim move up into top four?

All three points for the visitors in this upcoming fixture in Berlin at the Olympiastadion Berlin against their hosts would give Hoffenheim a great chance of moving up into the top four of the Bundesliga and having lost just once in their last six matches overall in the German top flight, the visitors look set to add to their points tally here as well.

Hoffenheim have suffered two defeats so far this season which were dealt out to the visitors by Borussia M’gladbach and Borussia Dortmund, both of which were away from home, while Hoffenheim have also picked up four wins in the process by way of victories against Bochum, Bayer Leverkusen, Augsburg and Mainz, the latter being a particularly impressive 4-1 rout of their opponents.

However, if Hoffenheim are to move into the top four, the visitors will need to address their form on the road as the visitors have managed to claim just one win out of their last seven outings on their travels which was achieved at Bayer Leverkusen with a 3-0 victory but five defeats within this period suggest that Hoffenheim need to pull their socks up on Sunday afternoon.

The bigger picture shows Hoffenheim have won just five of their last 19 away matches in the domestic top flight as well, so perhaps the prospects of a straight win on the road here may seem unlikely but given Hoffenheim’s promising run of recent results suggest that the visitors could pick up at least a point here.

Hoffenheim also have a few injuries to contend with as Robert Skov, Ermin Bicakcic, Benjamin Hubner and Ihlas Bebou are all sidelined and will mis this upcoming trip to Berlin on Sunday.
