Hertha BSC form and stats

Hertha BSC have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Bundesliga, after 2-2-9 (13 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Hertha BSC's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Belfodil, Tousart and Stark scored in Hertha's previous match, the home game against TSG Hoffenheim that ended 3-0. Plattenhardt, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 8.44. Plattenhardt served one assist, hit four key passes and won 2 of 6 duels.

A 0-2 defeat away at Borussia M'gladbach before that.

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Hertha BSC's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 33 goals in 13 travels. More than 50 percent of these were conceded from the 60th minute and onwards in these in the last 30 minutes of matches. Hertha BSC has visited these top teams four times, and 3 of 4 has ended with 2 goals or more!
