Hertha Berlin are not having the greatest of season as they are struggling at the wrong end of the Bundesliga table.

Hertha Berlin Preview – Can Berlin find some home cheer?
It has been a tough season for Hertha Berlin so far. They sat on just a W1 L4 record.
The one success that they have managed to get on the board happened in their opening game of the new season.
So it’s a four match losing streak that they are currently on. The win that they secured was away from home as well so they failed to take anything from their two home fixtures so far.
Of the nine goals that they have scored this season, just one of them has been on home soil.
In their last home game, Hertha Berlin suffered a 2-0 reverse against Stutggart.
Their two home losses in this campaign therefore have both been by a two goal margin.
The one positive from them is that Hertha Berlin have at least scored in all but one of their games so far.
A big negative thought is the fact that they have conceded at least two goals in each of their last four league fixtures.
To pile on the already poor reading for Hertha Berlin, they have failed to score in their last three home games against Wolfsburg.
Punters are looking at a quote of 31/20 for a home win in this fixture* (odds taken 2115 GMT Saturday, 31st October).
That doesn’t offer too much appeal to us really for football betting.
In their last three home games against the Wolves, Hertha Berlin were D1 L2 and again, they failed to hit the back of the net in any of those.
Combine that with a lack of current league form, then it’s hard to see them coming up with the goods in Sunday’s fixture.
Wolfsburg Preview – Three points on offer for the Wolves
Wolfsburg are W1 D4 in their five Bundesliga fixtures this season.
Their first win of the campaign came in their last fixture which was a 2-1 home success over Bielefeld.
It has only been four goals that Wolfsburg have scored this season, while they have conceded three.
So that would point to this being something of a low-scoring fixture, especially with the home side out of form.
Under 2.5 goals is at 11/10 for this game* (odds taken 2115 GMT Saturday, 31st October).
There is some big away form as well that Wolfsburg are carrying with them.
There has only been one defeat in their last ten Bundesliga away fixtures, so they are likely to hold their own.
Wolfsburg are going into the weekend’s action with some injury issues, but we don’t think that that is going to trip them up here.
The away win in the fixture is at 13/8 odds* (odds taken 2115 GMT Saturday, 31st October).

Wolfsburg collected a 3-0 win at Hertha Berlin last season to make it back to back wins there.
Before losing at home against them in January, Wolfsburg had been on a five match undefeated streak against Hertha Berlin.
So they are up in the recent head to head form between the two.
This does have the look of being a tight game, but we feel there is just enough in the game of Wolfsburg to certainly avoid defeat.
But for football betting we think that the 13/8 quote on them to win represents decent value in the match outright* (odds taken 2115 GMT Saturday, 31st October).
Hertha Berlin vs Wolfsburg Betting Advice
It is the away win that we are going to roll with. If it happens, we wouldn’t expect it to be by more than a one goal margin.
That’s because Wolfsburg haven’t been full of goals this season. A Wolfsburg 1 goal winning margin is at 15/4* (odds taken 2115 GMT Saturday, 31st October).
They should have a chance here against a Hertha Berlin side who have given up at least two goals in each of their last four.
Key Facts – Hertha Berlin vs Wolfsburg Betting Tip
- Hertha Berlin have lost their last four games
- Hertha Berlin have conceded at least two goals in each of their last four

We just can’t get to the home win in this fixture. We were tempted by the draw option in the match outright.
But Hertha Berlin are not in a good spot at the moment, so we think that we can push out the away win in football betting.
In the match outright the straight road victory is 13/8 to consider* (odds taken 2115 GMT Saturday, 31st October).
