With the midweek round of fixtures over, all attention in the Bundesliga quickly turns to the matches being played this weekend. There is an intriguing fixture on the cards, with one side still having an outside chance of reaching the Europa League positions, but will Hertha Berlin or Augsburg be taking the three points when they beat at the Olympiastadion
Bundesliga Preview
Hertha Berlin would have counted themselves unlucky to not have come away with all three points against RB Leipzig in their midweek fixture. They put up an impressive showing, as the Bruno Labbadia regime continues to go from strength to strength. Hertha are unbeaten since the restart and have won two of their three games. That run of form has given them an outside chance of reaching the Europa League places. However, they are still seven points behind Wolfsburg.
Hertha will be looking for the three points this weekend, which could see them rise a place to ninth. Their draw last time out against Leipzig was a good performance, with Marko Grujic and Krzysztof Piatek getting the goals.
Augsburg’s form has been inconsistent since the restart as they have won once, drawn once and lost once. Their form has left them floating around in the middle of the table, but they will still need at least a couple more wins to ease any potential worries that they could be dragged into a relegation scrap in the closing weeks. They have a four point advantage over Fortuna Dusseldorf at present, and defeat this weekend could leave them vulnerable.
Their performance last time out was a sign of how much they are struggling as they were held 0-0 by bottom-placed Paderborn. They had the lion share of the possession, but were unable at break Paderborn’s resolve. They will have to play much better against Hertha to get the win.
Hertha Berlin vs Augsburg Head To Head
This will be the 18th time that these two sides have faced off against each other, with Hertha holding the narrow advantage having won on five occasions. Augsburg have won three times, but the most common result between these two sides has been the draw, as there have been nine in the previous meetings. Augsburg recorded a big win earlier in the season, as they won 4-0.
Hertha Berlin vs Augsburg Prediction
Augsburg may have won the game earlier in the season comfortably, but the new regime under Labbadia has made Hertha a much tougher nut to crack. They will get another three points in this game to keep their feint Europa League hopes alive.
