Hertha Berlin vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting tips
Bayer Leverkusen is engaged in an exciting battle for fourth place with Borussia Mönchengladbach. The Peter Bosz team will play against Hertha BSC on Saturday and would like to add three points.
Hertha BSC:
Hertha BSC had to say goodbye to its European ambitions for this season on Tuesday. The chances of this were not very great, but in theory still feasible. However, after the 2-1 defeat suffered by the Berliners at SC Freiburg, the gap with seventh place has become too big to even catch up. Die Alte Dame was not very strong in the match against Freiburg.
Hertha will therefore close the season in the middle bracket. The challenge for coach Bruna Labbadia is to get his players on their toes for the last two league matches. “Every Bundesliga game is something special – and important,” said Labbadia in a competitive press conference on Thursday. “We want to get the most out of it.” These are nice words, but the question is of course whether this intention can also be translated into action on the field. However, if Labbadia means what he says, then many changes to the basic setup are not obvious.
Bayer Leverkusen:
Bayer Leverkusen still has a place for next season’s Champions League in their own hands. After the mid-week round, the difference with competitor Borussia Mönchengladbach remained a point. Leverkusen himself settled with neighbor 1. FC Köln. Die Werkself was clearly the better of the two and beat the Domstedelingen 3-1. Moussa Diaby was undeniably the man of the match. The winger was involved in many attacks and made the last goal of the match.
“Overall, I am satisfied with both the energy we played with and the result,” Bosz said after the Derbysieg. “The only criticism I can make is that we didn’t make the third half-time goal.” Sven Bender was injured against Köln and may have to skip the match in Berlin. His brother Lars is already in the infirmary, just like Karim Bellarabi. Bosz, however, has enough alternatives to send a representative team into the field on Saturday.
