Hertha has hired a new coach over the week, and established Friedhelm Funkel, who is a man with lots of experience in Bundesliga football. The club might be awakened by his arrival, so somewhat better performance of the Berlin giant could be expected. Hertha has been playing really desperate this season, but that is primarily cause they possess the worst playing squad in the past few years. However, they’ll do their best in order to avoid relegation, which shouldn’t be problem for a team as big as Hertha. The Berlin side might fly high in this match already. They’re gonna want to win in order to get the “wings” for the upcoming matches in the league. In case of a defeat, the problems will keep on getting bigger in this club. All in all, now everything could be very easily resolved with a positive result and primarily a good performance in this match.
Good this season, too
Hamburg possesses a great team this season as well. Although they’re at the very top and having some very serious intentions of taking the Bundesliga title, I don’t have too much trust in their squad and believe their ambitions are a bit too optimistic. Realistically, HSV has got a place in the top of Bundesliga, but do they have the strength and quality to win the title? I highly doubt it. The squad is in excellent shape. Newcomer Marcus Berg has been shining in their team lately, simply demolishing the opposing teams together with Mladen Petric in the attack. Two of them will most likely again be the main hopes for HSV in this clash, while a lot of responsibility will also be on Jarolim, Trochkowski and Ze Roberto.
Open match
Hamburg is surely a favorite in this clash, but it’s about time for Hertha to finally display a bit better performance. I expect the hosts to score at least once, while the goals for the visitors are not even in question. I expect an interesting match full of goals, so I’d go for the over.
