Hannover vs Hertha Berlin Top Odds and Predictions
This will be Hertha’s fourth friendly match in the past two weeks, while Hannover is just starting their short preparation period before the winter break.
Draw
These teams had plenty of matches in their past, three years ago was the last time they met in an official capacity, playing in the Bundesliga while Hannover was there. Their recent match was a friendly a year ago, and it was a goal bonanza that ended 4-4.
Over 2.5 Goals
Hertha beat Ludwigsfelder earlier in the week in their latest friendly, it was 5-0. They also had a draw with the Austrian side GAK, which was one goal apiece, while also drawing against Munich 1860 in another high-scoring match that ended 3-3. While Hertha is not as efficient in the Bundesliga, it can be said that Hannover is in the 2. Bundesliga where they are trying to return to the top division.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
It’s an obvious choice, looking at their past encounters, as well as Hertha’s proficiency in scoring goals in their previous three friendly matches. Hannover will look to start their training camp in good spirits.
Preview Hannover vs Hertha Berlin: Can Hertha keep its net clean?
Hannover
Zweite Bundesliga is a tough competition with lots of teams that are vying to get promoted to the top division, and with that being said Hannover is trying to keep its momentum and keep hold onto one of the top five positions to stay close when it comes the time to reengage their rivals for the final push into the promotion window. They are fifth at the moment with eight points difference from the best team in the league Darmstadt. But, things in the Zweite Bundesliga are fluctuating constantly, it’s hard to find a consistent team, and it’s too soon to recognize who will be promoted. There is only room for two teams with direct promotion, while the third one will have to battle against one of the Bundesliga sides in a playoff clash.
Hertha Berlin
The Berlin outfit has some availability issues. Oliver Christensen is away on international duty, and there are a few injury concerns as well. There is a good reason why Hertha is playing so many friendly matches, they need to get better before the season reconvenes. It’s going to be a while though, as the Bundesliga will continue in the latter part of January. But, Hertha is just above the relegation zone, and it’s the second straight season that they are struggling to keep up with the rivals. Last season they managed to save their Bundesliga status in a playoff battle against Hamburg, but again they are not playing consistently well which makes it difficult to get necessary wins.
Their league form over the period is fluctuating.
