Hertha Berlin vs Augsburg
German Bundesliga
Date: 25 February 2023, Saturday
Kick-off at 14:30 UK / 15:30 CET
Venue: Olympiastadion Berlin (Berlin).

Hertha Berlin host Augsburg in a super-important Matchday No 22 affair on Saturday afternoon at Olympiastadion Berlin.

The hosts picked up a massive 4-1 win over Monchengladbach in their previous game in the capital but they run into a quick reality check with the last weekend’s loss at Borussia Dortmund in an identical scoreline.

It was the fifth loss in six league games in 2023 for Hertha Berlin who sit second from bottom in the Bundesliga table and can ill afford slip-ups in front of the home fans against bottom-half opposition.

This is exactly the scenario awaiting Hertha this weekend as they are about to face fellow strugglers Augsburg in a match that has the ingredients of a relegation six-pointer at this stage.

Augsburg claimed a huge 1-0 win over Hoffenheim last Friday thanks to a late goal from Fredrik Jensen. They offered an outstanding defensive display on the occasion.

It was the second win in the last three outings for Die Fuggerstadter who are seven points above Hertha in the bottom half of the standings.

The problem for head coach Enrico Maasen is that Augsburg just can’t seem to be able to translate their fine home performances to the matches on the road.

Augsburg will travel to capital off the back of five defeats and a draw in the previous six league outings away from home.

Hertha Berlin vs Augsburg Head-to-head

• Augsburg will also play against tradition here because they have only managed to celebrate 3 wins in the previous 23 encounters with Hertha.
• Hertha Berlin have never lost the home clash against Augsburg (11 matches).
• We did not see three or more goals scored in any of the previous three head to head meetings between these rivals.

Hertha Berlin vs Augsburg Prediction

This is a huge game for the hosts. Knowing Augsburg took just one point from the previous six away outings in the league, we do fancy Hertha’s chances here.

The home win is worth backing at the 2.20 odds, while we will also shoot for the Under 2.5 goals FT bet at the 2.00 odds knowing none of the last three H2H encounters between these teams saw three or more goals scored.

Hertha Berlin vs Augsburg Betting Tips

• Hertha Berlin to win @ 2.20 (6/5)

• Under 2.5 goals FT @ 2.00 (1/1) odd.
