On Saturday afternoon, Hertha Berlin host Eintracht Frankfurt at the Olympiastadion, in a big game for both teams in the Bundesliga.
Hertha Berlin have endured another poor season in the Bundesliga. Tayfun Korkut’s team are currently in the relegation play-off berth and are just four points clear of the automatic relegation spot.
The good news for the boys from Berlin is that they are only behind 15th place Augsburg courtesy of an inferior goal difference.
The Old Lady’s recent league form has been woeful, as Hertha are on a run of seven league matches without a victory, having suffered five defeats in the process.
A 3-0 defeat at Freiburg last time out not only means that Hertha have suffered three straight league defeats, but it also saw them concede at least two goals for the third straight game in the Bundesliga.
Hertha’s recent league form at the Olympiastadion has unsurprisingly been poor, as they are winless in four games, having suffered three defeats in the run.
Eintracht Frankfurt have enjoyed a rollercoaster of a Bundesliga campaign, as the Eagles currently sit tenth-place in the table. They are nine points adrift of the European places and seven clear of Saturday’s opponents.
A recent three-game losing streak in the German top-flight has certainly dented their chances of making a late challenge for a top-six position this season.
Last time out they suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to reigning champions Bayern Munich. The game saw Frankfurt fail to score for their third straight league match.
Frankfurt’s recent away record in the Bundesliga could not be more inconsistent, as the Eagles have won two, lost two and drawn one of their last five away games in the German top-flight.
Forebet predicts that Hertha’s relegation fears will grow in this clash, with the visitors recording a victory in a high-scoring clash.
