Perhaps, it will be the key battle who will get the third Bundesliga place that grants Champions League automatic qualification. Bayer, who know what it’s like to play in the qualifying rounds, will try to do everything to avoid it.
It’s clear, Hertha have been struggling to keep up with the level they achieved in the first half of the season. It seems Hertha do not feel like they deserve to be this high in the standings. In fact, there would be no catastrophe if Berlin side will play in the qualifying round. Even if them would be eliminated to the Europa League, it will still be quite an achievement for them. In any way, Hertha are in good position, therefore they sometimes lack motivation as they secured their place in the eurocups.

On top of that, Hertha earned only one points in their last 4 games. They lost to Bayern (0:2), to Hoffenheim (1:2), to Borussia Monchengladbach (0:5) and tied lowly Hannover (2:2). They just cannot keep up with the pace they set earlier.
Bayer Leverkusen in turn caught a second wind. They won their last 6 Bundesliga game. And they have almost no squad problems. They conceded only 2 goals in the given period (against Schalke). Hertha have been struggling to win their last 3 away games, while Bayer suffered their last defeat on the March 2.
Prediction: Bayer to win.
