This match features two teams living in the basement of the Bundesliga, Hertha BSC holding 13th place and Hoffenheim lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Hertha BSC have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Hoffenheim have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
It's no vacation for neither Hertha nor Hoffenheim as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Hoffenheim have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2800 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Hertha BSC form and stats
2-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Bundesliga numbers at home for Hertha BSC so far this season.
K. Piatek was the last player to score a league goal for Hertha and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Hertha BSC haven't scored in 190 minutes.
Hertha shared the glory with Köln in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. Heartbreak before that as Hertha BSC lost 0-1 at Arminia Bielefeld's place.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Hertha have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won three, drawn four and lost four.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Hertha as they have a new game in only four days, a Bundesliga match thankfully also at home. Werder Bremen are visiting.
Hertha BSC are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 games. Hertha have conceded 12 from these games.
Hoffenheim form and stats
Hoffenheim have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Bundesliga, after 2-2-4 (8 played).
Hoffenheim have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 212 minutes ago. I. Bebou was the goal scorer.
There were no winners in Hoffenheim's previous match, a Bundesliga home game that ended 0-0 vs Arminia Bielefeld (placed 15th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Schalke 04 wasn't a success with a 0-4 loss.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Hoffenheim playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were five Hoffenheim wins, five draws and two defeats.
Hoffenheim are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 10 away goals from 8 games (in the league). The Hoffenheim manager S. Hoeneß has some worries about the defense as 17 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - three - five (Hertha wins - draws - Hoffenheim wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
