Hertha BSC form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Bundesliga travels is 4 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats. It’s been three wins in a row for Hertha BSC on their travels, an amazing performance which inspire hopes of making this one the fourth consecutive victory.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Bundesliga home defeat versus Köln with 0-5 on the scoreboard. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Paderborn.
Hertha BSC lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one. It's a bit worrying for Hertha BSC that their goalkeeper Rune Jarstein made six saves in the Köln game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
