The Hertha wants to win again
In one of six Saturday afternoon games in the German Bundesliga, there will be a duel between Hertha BSC Berlin and Hamburger SV. Two teams who have not been able to show their best side in the last few weeks and months. The meeting in Berlin’s Olympic Stadium kicked off on October 28 at 3:30 pm.

Current form Hertha BSC Berlin
The Hertha is currently still a lot better than the opponent from Hamburg. At the moment you are ranked 10th in the table. However: In contrast to the North Germans must / had to compete on Wednesday in the Cup against 1. FC Cologne. A thankless task, because a possible defeat would further aggravate the situation in the capital. The fact is that Berlin has been waiting for six games for a full success, recently against Freiburg over a 1-1 draw did not get out and had to be satisfied with this. For in fact, the weaker team was in many respects against the Breisgau. Advantage Hertha: Against the HSV, a home game is on the program. And in these, the team of Pál Dardai – almost traditionally – more successful than away. The point win in Breisgau was only the second, which succeeded this season away, both previous victories were celebrated in their own stadium. Especially in the offensive you are apparently freed in the Olympic Stadium, has made more than three times as many home scores as away. All in all there was only one season in their own stadium, the 2-0 against Schalke 04. Problems gets the Hertha usually when it meets an opponent, which acts with a lot of ball safety and at a high speed. The latter can be said to HSV quite, in terms of ball control but also have the North German problems. We see strengths in the Berliners, especially on the right side with wise and Leckie. A circumstance which we have already mentioned in our recent analyzes of the Hertha, but which still appears to be essential, since this wing is by far the largest weapon of the Berliners. However, they remained in the past four Bundesliga matches equal to two times without scoring, the goal against Freiburg also came from a penalty, but even this required two attempts. Positive: Against Hamburg SV Hertha has been able to win all of the last four home games for themselves. Coach Dardai has to give up on the suspended Haraguchi on Saturday as well as the injured sliders Darida, Mittelstadt and Langkamp. The latter would have been an important weapon especially for standards. Daridas failure, however, we see as even more problematic, if one looks at the weaknesses of Hertha in terms of ball security. Accordingly, the Berliners are likely to act on Saturday with high balls.

Current Form Hamburger SV
It is currently very difficult to filter out the real strengths of HSV. Because the Hamburgers are (again) in a crisis. Year after year, the traditional club tends its fans to torture, year after year expensive new entrants do not bring the desired effect. At the same time, one has a similar problem as the Hertha: It is simply too rare for goal series. This problem is even more pronounced in the Hanseatic cities than in the capital. Of the past six (!) Bundesliga matches there was only one in which the Hamburger SV could cheer about one or several goals, so happened in the 2: 3-defeat in Mainz. The only point gain in this period was achieved in the North Derby against Werder Bremen (0: 0). Last weekend the Markus Gisdol team lost against Bayern Munich with a 1-0 defeat. The performance was anything but bad, even if the record champion could not be really dangerous in many game phases. However, the defenders continued to stand for a long time, and the HSV had to act long after a red card against Jung for a long time. Nevertheless, the HSV showed itself aggressive, commitment and willingness to run in any case. Factors that were often missed in previous crises of the North Germans. Nevertheless, at the end of the day, the results of the football match count and they have not voted last. In the game to the front you have slightly deviated from Bayern Munich from their actual line somewhat, the quick counter-attacks, which one still in the first two games with the victories against Cologne (3: 1) and Augsburg (1: 0) showed the past. Instead, the Bavarians were increasingly active with long balls when the qualification was sought, then they were often too hasty and too far away. Hope is the fact that you were offensive so far more than home. With six season matches Hamburg is one of the weakest attack divisions of the entire league, after all, five of these six Saisontors were scored abroad. After all, with the exception of Müller and Jung, the Reds currently have not a single regular. It should also be remembered that three of the six downs in the last seven games were drawn against the absolute top teams of the league (Dortmund, Leipzig, Bayern), the HSV at least two good times.

Betting forecast
Hamburg is currently acting a bit too “good”. If one had shown so much passion against the weaker teams as against Bayern, one would be a bit higher in the table. However, the pressure before the guest game in Berlin is enormous, and Hertha is anything but a favorite of the Gizdol elf. We expect a close home win.
