H2H: Hertha Berlin vs. RB Leipzig – Prediction (Bundesliga

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Hertha Berlin are winless in three league games (D1, L2), with both defeats in this run seeing the decisive losing goal arrive beyond the 75th minute. Meanwhile, the two matches in that sequence which saw Hertha score witnessed them equalise in the 61st-75th minute period, following a first half lost to-nil. The seasoned Vedad Ibišević has scored Hertha’s first goal (within the 31st-45th minute period) in two of Hertha’s last three Bundesliga home wins. Both matches ended 3-1. Five of Hertha’s last six home league matches (W3, L3) have seen both teams score, and if excluding opposition penalty goals, Hertha won the first half to-nil in each victory. Meanwhile, each defeat saw them lose one half to-nil by a margin of multiple goals.

Hertha’s last four Bundesliga home wins have seen them concede the first or last match goal. Each of Leipzig’s three prior league visits here (W3) have seen them win the second half by a two-goal margin. Leipzig have scored exactly once beyond the hour mark in each of their three Bundesliga away wins this term.

RB Leipzig require no wings at all right now, and fans are drinking to their success after a return of 16 goals across three competitive outings (5.33 per-match). Positively fizzing in the final third with a can-do attitude, Leipzig have also averaged exactly 3.0 second-half goals per-match across their last two competitive away games. Leipzig won 8-0 on aggregate across last season’s Bundesliga H2Hs. Timo Werner contributed towards 50% of those goals (two goals, two assists), while Yussuf Poulsen got a hat-trick in the last meeting. Thirsty for more success, Leipzig will be eager to improve upon their good away league record this term (W3, D1, L1). They averaged an impressive 2.0 goals per-first half across the wins in that sequence.
