On Saturday evening, Hertha Berlin host Dortmund at the Olympiastadion Berlin, as the visitors look to return to the top of the Bundesliga table.
Hertha BSC have endured a mixed campaign so far in the Bundesliga, which has left the team from the capital in tenth place in the German top-flight, seven points outside the European spots.
The home sides recent league form has been inconsistent. However, a 2-1 defeat at Freiburg last time out in the Bundesliga means that Hertha have won just one of their last four matches in the German top-flight.
Hertha Berlin’s recent matches in the Bundesliga have been relatively high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in eight of their last 11 outings in the German top-flight.
Their recent home record is mixed in the league. However, two wins in their last nine outings on home soil is not a great record. Hertha’s recent league outings at the Olympiastadion have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight matches.
An inconsistent recent run of league form has seen Dortmund drop to second in the Bundesliga table after leading the pack for so long. BVB are behind reigning champions Bayern Munich courtesy of their inferior goal difference.
Lucien Favre’s team recorded a 3-1 victory over Stuttgart last time out in the Bundesliga, which ended a run of just one win in five league games for BVB.
Borussia Dortmund fans have become accustomed to their team being involved in high scoring games this season. Their recent Bundesliga games have been no different, as four of BVB’s last five games have produced over 2.5 goals.
Favre’s team have a poor recent away record in the Bundesliga, winning just one of their last five away matches.
Forebet predicts that Dortmund will improve that poor recent away record by recording a victory in a low scoring encounter, which would move BVB back to the top of the table.
