Hertha BSC form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Hertha BSC's two home games in the Bundesliga so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Olympiastadion Berlin.

Hertha BSC are returning here after visiting Köln in a Bundesliga game and winning with a 4-0 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Hertha BSC won a home game hosting Paderborn (2-1).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Hertha BSC have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won 5 times, drawn 1 and lost 2.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Hertha BSC at home in the league. 2 on target and 4 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Fortuna Düsseldorf form and stats

Things could have gone better for Fortuna Düsseldorf in their Bundesliga away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. Fortuna Düsseldorf seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Bundesliga home defeat versus Freiburg with 1-2 on the scoreboard. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Borussia M'gladbach wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Fortuna Düsseldorf are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats. From a total of ten matches.

Fortuna Düsseldorf has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 5 goals from 3 games. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Fortuna Düsseldorf have conceded 5 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
