Hertha Berlin vs Hannover 96
German Bundesliga
Date: Wednesday, 13th December 2017
Kick-off at 19:30 UK/ 20:30 CET
Venue: Olympiastadion (Berlin).

Hertha Berlin’ season has been marred by inconsistency and they have edged close to the relegation zone. They strike late to earn a 1-1 draw at Augsburg on the weekend, but Freiburg’s comeback win at Koln cut short the distance with relegation zone to 3 points. So, they could end up in the danger zone if they fail to pick up points on Wednesday.

Talking about inconsistency, Hertha managed just 1 win from their last 5 games. Moreover, they lost 3 of the last 4 at home. Therefore, the pressure to deliver a win is high as they welcome the newly promoted Hannover. But, our analysis prove that this is a tricky fixture for the Berliners to negotiate.

Hannover might have moderate ambitions this season and they will be satisfied with their performances so far as they occupy the 10th spot in the Bundesliga standings. The team is coming on the back of an excellent home win against Hoffenheim which helped them pull 7 points clear-off the relegation zone.

Yet, Hannover remain a poor side in away games. They lost three on the bounce, but we can also say that those were difficult fixtures with two of those coming against Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig.

Hertha’s last home win against Hannover can be dated back to 2009/10 season.

Hertha Berlin vs Hannover: Predictions
