Hertha Berlin’s stay in the Bundesliga could be coming to an end, and their relegation to the second tier could be effectively confirmed this weekend if they are beaten. Stuttgart could also move clear of the drop zone if they are able to pick up maximum points.
Bundesliga Preview
It has been a difficult season in the Bundesliga for Hertha Berlin, and their relegation could be effectively confirmed this weekend if they fall to a home defeat against Stuttgart. The capital club has picked up just five wins from 30 games this season, while they also boast the second worse defensive record in the Bundesliga.
Hertha has also struggled to score goals throughout this season, as they have managed just 35. Their recent form has dipped in the Bundesliga, as they have lost each of their last four. Their most recent defeat was suffered last Sunday, as they were easily swatted aside by Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.
Stuttgart currently sits just above the relegation places in the Bundesliga, but they could ease their position with maximum points on the road this weekend. They currently sit outside of the bottom three on goal difference, but their recent form does show an upturn in recent results.
They come into this fixture after going four without a defeat, while they have registered two wins over that same period. Stuttgart picked up a fine victory in their previous outing, as they registered a 2-1 home success against Borussia Monchengladbach. Serhou Guirassy and Tanguy Coulibaly scored the goals in that success in front of their own fans.
Hertha Berlin vs Stuttgart Head to Head
Stuttgart won the reverse fixture between these sides earlier in the season. However, that was their first win in three attempts against Hertha. This exact fixture last season was won 2-0 by the hosts, while the previous two ended in score draws.
Hertha Berlin vs Stuttgart Prediction
Momentum could be the key factor to consider before making a selection for this fixture. Hertha have struggled for results across their recent five, while Stuttgart has won two from four. The travelling side will also be boosted by the fact that a win would move them clear of the bottom three. Therefore, the preference is for the visitors.
