Hertha Berlin Preview – Can Hertha Berlin hold their own?
Recent form suggests that Hertha Berlin are capable of doing just that on Friday night against 6th placed Schalke at their Olympiastadion Berlin as the hosts have captured 3 wins from their last 5 matches overall in the German top flight which has lifted the home side up into 13th place.
Victories over Freiburg, Bayer Leverkusen and Wolfsburg should give Hertha Berlin a much-needed confidence boost as they prepare for this second half of the Bundesliga season, and although they lost at home to Bayern Munich, this was probably expected.
An overall home record of 3-1-5 11/18 though still requires further attention from the hosts, and having won just 1 of their last 6 matches on home turf, Hertha Berlin look to have their work cut out here.
The recent win against Freiburg was followed by a solid point against Borussia Moenchengladbach though in a 0-0 draw, so this will give the hosts belief in getting something out of this clash.
Schalke Preview – Can Schalke bounce back?
Hertha Berlin aren’t the only team to find themselves on the end of Bayern Munich’s wrath as the hosts lost 4-0 but Friday night’s visitors, Schalke, came off even worse in their 5-0 mauling at the hands of Bayern last time out in the Bundesliga.
This crushing defeat resulted in Schalke dropping down to 6th place in the german top flight following an encouraging run of 4 matches without defeat which included wins against Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Moenchengladbach as well as draws with Wolfsburg and Freiburg.
However, it should be noted that Schalke’s two aforementioned wins were both registered on home turf at their VELTINS-Arena where they’ve suffered just 1 defeat throughout this whole campaign to date.
Switch to results away from home and Schalke have lost 2 of their last 3 matches on their travels with defeats at Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, and are without a win from these last 3 away from home too.
