On Saturday afternoon, Hertha Berlin host RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga, as the visitors look to maintain their title challenge.
Hertha Berlin have endured a mixed season in the German top-flight, having picked up just 11 points from their last ten games in the Bundesliga this season. A 1-0 defeat at Union Berlin in the derby means that Ante Covic’s team have now failed to win in three outings, having suffered two straight defeats.
Hertha’s recent outings in the German top-flight have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in 11 of their last 13 league matches.

The home side has an inconsistent recent home record in the Bundesliga, as they have lost three games and won two of their last five league outings at the Olympiastadion Berlin. Their recent home matches in the German top-flight have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last six home league matches.
The team from the German capital have a poor recent record against RB Leipzig, winning just one of the last six meetings between the two teams.
RB Leipzig are currently third place in the Bundesliga table, three points behind leaders Monchengladbach, despite just one win in their last four outings in the German top-flight.
That one win was an incredible 8-0 victory over Mainz. The win ended a four-game winless run in German top-flight. The game against Mainz also saw Leipzig keep their first clean sheet in five league games.
Leipzig’s away form in the Bundesliga has been inconsistent, as they have won just three of their last seven outings on their travels. Their recent away matches in the German top-flight have been high-scoring, with eight of their last nine away matches producing over 2.5 goals.
Forebet predicts that RB Leipzig will record a victory in a high-scoring win to stay in touch with the teams at the top of the table.
