Leverkusen to grab the spoils over Hertha Berlin
Bayer Leverkusen vs Hertha BSC - 18/12/2019
3434
It’s back to the bread and butter of the Bundesliga for Bayer Leverkusen following their recent defeat to Juventus in the Champions League, and having also lost to struggling Cologne in a 2-0 loss away from home, Wednesday night’s hosts will no doubt be itching to return to winning ways here.
The defeat to Juventus means Leverkusen will now participate in the knockout rounds of the Europa League but the domestic front now beckons for the hosts who find themselves in a slightly disappointing 7th place in the German top flight and they’ll be hoping they can rekindle some of their earlier form.
Before their two recent defeats, Bayer Leverkusen had registered wins against 8th placed Wolfsburg, 5th placed Bayern Munich and 4th placed Schalke, all of whom sit in the top half of the Bundesliga.
In addition, results at home have been solid enough for Leverkusen who have suffered just 1 defeat from their 8 matches on home turf at their BayArena, and just 1 loss from their last 11 matches in the Bundesliga.
Hertha Berlin head into this Wednesday night encounter on the back of two matches without defeat in the German top flight following a much-needed 1-0 home win against Freiburg which was backed up with a point in a draw away from home at Eintracht Frankfurt.
Before this recent upturn in results, Hertha Berlin had suffered a 5-match losing streak which included losses to Hoffenheim, Union Berlin, RB Leipzig, Augsburg and Borussia Dortmund, so despite the win over Freiburg, the visitors are not out of the woods yet.
Hertha Berlin have also captured just the one win on the road so far in this season’s German top flight which came in the shape of a victory at struggling Cologne, so this trip to face a solid Leverkusen outfit on their own patch and just 1 defeat from their last 11 home matches, could be a tough one indeed.
The visitors are also without a win from their last 4 matches on their travels in the Bundesliga, and along with claiming just 3 away wins out of their last 15 matches on the road, Hertha Berlin look to have their work cut out here.
Bayer Leverkusen have won the last two meetings against Hertha Berlin and look set to record a third on the bounce here.
