Hertha Berlin vs Elversberg Prediction & Betting Tips

Hertha Berlin vs Elversberg Match Preview

Hertha Berlin and Elversberg square off in the DFB Pokal, with both sides carrying mixed league form into this midweek cup clash. Hertha have shown more stability at home, while Elversberg arrive after a heavy defeat but with a habit of scoring freely in previous rounds. Expect an open contest with both teams eager to prove a point after inconsistent league runs.

Hertha’s Home Edge Could Prove Decisive

The capital side are regaining rhythm after edging Fortuna Düsseldorf 1-0 at home. That win added to earlier victories against Preussen Münster and Nürnberg, highlighting their growing defensive control at home. However, the 3-2 defeat at Bochum exposed lapses when pressed away from Berlin.

Hertha’s recent home fixtures often see goals, and the team has now scored at least twice in three of their last four games. The Blue-Whites have also dominated previous DFB Pokal ties when playing in Berlin, which should boost confidence heading into this fixture.

Elversberg’s Attack Can Trouble Any Defence

Elversberg suffered a 2-0 defeat at Arminia Bielefeld last time out, but their previous 6-0 demolition of Greuther Fürth showed their attacking ceiling. They have scored four or more in three of their last five games, including impressive away wins at Magdeburg and Stuttgart.

However, their defence remains fragile on the road, conceding at least twice in two of their last three trips. That inconsistency could hurt them against a Hertha side that thrives on transitions and home momentum.
