Hertha Berlin will be looking to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Werder Bremen when they face Eintracht Frankfurt in the German capital. Hertha have been making progress ever since Bruno Labbadia took over the reins, and, no doubt, former Germany international is doing a great job with the capital club. Jhon Cordoba found the net on his Hertha Berlin debut, but Poland attacker Krzysztof Piatek is likely to lead the line for the hosts.
The likes of Santiago Ascacibar and Javairo Dilrosun remain in the recovery room for the hosts. Die Adler, on the other hand, came from behind to share the spoils with Arminia Bielefeld in the opening match of the season. Eintracht, though, will have a much bigger fish to fry against Hertha Berlin, who could not have wished for a better start to the season.
Goals to Dodi Lukébakio and Matheus Cunha made it 2-2, Peter Pekarík made it 3-3 but their defence continued to let them down. Dodi Lukébakio scored his second goal in the 83rd minute but they couldn’t find an equaliser.
Hertha Berlin won 4-1 at Werder Bremen in their frist Bundesliga match of the season. Peter Pekarík, Dodi Lukébakio and Matheus Cunha established a 3-0 lead with Jhon Córdoba coming off the bench to add icing on the cake.
Hertha Berlin have seen over 4.5 goals in their last 2 matches and Eintracht Frankfurt have seen BTTS in 7 of their last 8 matches.
Hertha Berlin started the season in poor fashion. The capital club were knocked out of the German Cup in the first round against second division club Eintracht Frankfurt.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s 17 away league games last season featured a total 56 goals
Both teams scored in 23 of Eintracht Frankfurt’s 34 Bundesliga matches last term
Hertha Berlin have won three of their last four home league matches
The two meetings between these sides featured a total nine goals last season and that points to a potentially high-scoring affair so I predict Hertha Berlin to win
