Hertha Berlin vs Freiburg Prediction and Betting Tips

Hertha Berlin will host Freiburg at the Olympiastadion on Sunday (October 9) afternoon in the Bundesliga.

The Old Lady endured an abysmal start to their season, losing in the DFB-Pokal first round against second tier Eintracht Braunschweig. They have, however, strung together a positive run of results, recently holding Hoffenheim to a 1-1 draw at home, with Dodi Lukebakio scoring the equaliser just before the break.

Hertha are 14th in the standings with just seven points from eight games. They are just two points above the drop zone and will look to widen that gap this weekend.

Freiburg, meanwhile, are enjoying a brilliant run of form and will fancy themselves as early title contenders. They beat Mainz 2-1 in their last league game, thanks to first-half goals from Michael Gregoritsch and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh before beating Nantes 2-0 in the UEFA Europa League in midweek.

The visitors have picked up 17 points from eight games and sit joint-top of the Bundesliga standings. They will now look to continue their good run of form this weekend.
