Hertha Berlin vs Eintracht Frankfurt Match Preview

Hertha Berlin is ranked at the second spot after getting a nice 4-1 win in the opener against Werder Bremen. While it is true that Werder is a struggling team, still Hertha pulled off a solid performance despite being on the road. In the previous season, a very poor end in the final games did not allow them to get a spot in Europa League, and judging by the transfers they made the team has improved a lot.

In their first game at home and with fans allowed back in the stadium I expect to see a motivated team do well. If they play as they did against Werder Bremen they certainly have high hopes for this duel. History is on their side too, as they won three of the last five h2h games played at home against Eintracht.

Eintracht Frankfurt, on the other hand, is ranked at the 8th place with a single point after failing to get past a 1-1 draw against newly-promoted Arminia Bielefeld. They played quite well and dominated their rivals and were unlucky as they even hit the crossbar. Anyway, now I expect them to try and bounce back.

The swap between Rebic and Andre Silva was made permanent with AC Milan and the Portuguese striker showed again he is in a good form as he scored for them in the previous game. Eintracht Frankfurt failed to earn a ticket for Europa League too in the past season and they were even closed than Hertha Berlin. I think they will be a serious contender this season.

In conclusion, I think this game can have over 2.5 goals. Hertha Berlin has scored at least a goal in four of the last five duels between them, while at home they scored for six consecutive games. Eintracht Frankfurt is quite an offensive team and they scored six goals in two games between them in the past season.
