Hertha Berlin vs Dortmund Match Preview

Hertha Berlin is ranked at 12th place with seven points and comes after a single win a draw and three losses over the last five matches. In general, they haven't played that bad but they had to face some tough competition as two of their losses came against Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig. Still, they scored against each of them and against Bayern Munich lost in the last minutes.

They have scored 13 goals so far averaging almost two goals per game and managed to score at least a goal in four of the last five encounters. Cordoba is injured but I expect Cunha and Lukebakio to step up. Not to mention Guendouzi, who is proving to be an added value to the team so far on both defensive and offensive duties.

Dortmund, on the other side, is ranked at the third spot as they suffered a defeat against Bayern Munich in the last game. This ruined their four-game winning streak in the league and now they will seek to bounce right back up so they do not lose anymore terrain to their rivals.

With 15 goals scored so far, they have the third-best attack in the league, averaging at least two goals per game. Since the loss to Augsburg, they have scored 12 goals in five matches managing to score at least a goal in each game. The best news is that Haaland is eligible to play here and also Sancho should be fresh.

In conclusion, I think this match can have over 2.5 goals. Hertha Berlin has proven this season they can punish any team despite it hasn't been reflected on what they got on points. At home I expect them to score against Dortmund as they have done in four of the last five games. Dortmund with players upfront like Reus, Haaland, Sancho will try to score a couple of goals here since their rivals have got a leaky defense.
