Bayern Munich vs Hertha Berlin Prediction

Bayern Munich have been a little shaky at the back under Julian Nagelsmann but should be able to navigate the threat of a poor Hertha Berlin side.

Hertha have been extremely underwhelming and it is hard to imagine that they will be able to conjure enough chances to score on Saturday.

We predict that Bayern Munich will win by a comfortable margin.

Prediction: Bayern Munich 3-0 Hertha Berlin
