Hertha BSC form and stats

Hertha BSC have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Bundesliga, after 1-2-12 (15 played). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Hertha BSC have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone twelve consecutive matches without winning on the road.

Hertha had fun at their own home (RheinEnergieStadion) last time out, beating Stuttgart 2-1. Kempf and Niederlechner scored. Hooray; their first three points in the league after eight matches not winning. Uremović, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.44. Uremović won 12 of 15 duels.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Bayern München wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Hertha BSC when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 4 matches with the visitors losing 1 time, drawing 2 and winning 1 game.

Betting fact: Both sides have scored in 9 of this club's last 12 league fixtures.

The visitors have scored 14 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Hertha BSC manager Dárdai has some worries about the defense as 36 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The latest logged scoreline between these squads is the Hertha BSC - Köln 2-0 played not long ago this season. Head to head data (for the prior ten meetings): FC Köln won three games, three matches ended with a tie and Hertha BSC have four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / five.
