Hamburger SV vs Hertha Berlin
Germany – Bundesliga Qualification
Date: Monday, 23 May 2022
Kick-off at 19:30 UK/ 20:30 CET
Venue: Volksparkstadion.
The result of this first leg is an indication for, just how much momentum will influence upcoming results. It is true that Hamburger spent an entire season in the second division while their counterparts were coming from the top flight.
However, Hertha are low on confidence and are going through a poor stretch of performances as of now. They are letting in goals in huge numbers and they just do not seem to be able to shake off this poor form.
They lost 0-1 at home in the first leg and now they will have to overturn this deficit in the second leg. But it worries their fans that they will be on the road.
As things stand, expect a win for Hamburger this Sunday.
Hamburger are on a 5-fixture winning streak and they had scored a total of 14 goals in the process. They had also won ten of their past 15 appearances at home and they have lost just 4 times at this venue since May of 2021.
On the other hand, Hertha are on a 3-game losing streak, and they had remained winless in 16 of the past 19 fixtures. Do note that they had also gone through a separate five-match losing streak in the process.
Finally, they have won just once on the road since October.
Taking into account these observations, expect a win for hamburger this Sunday and thus count on them to secure an entry to the top flight.
