Hertha Berlin hosts Bayer Leverkusen in round 34 of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, May 18th at Olympiastadion (Berlin)
Hertha showed a great game in the last matches. The Old Lady confidently beat Stuttgart at home and made a scoring extravaganza in the away match with Augsburg. In those two meetings, the team managed to smash as many as 7 balls. For comparison, in the previous 3 matches, the men of Dardai failed to score. And in general, Hertha performed poorly in March and April and lost the chance to get a ticket to the Europa League because of it. Therefore, victories in recent games show us that the Old Lady has got out of the crisis. However, the team still has problems in defense. Hertha conceded a goal from Stuttgart even at home, while in the away game with Augsburg, it allowed its rival to score three times.

Bayer faltered in a duel with Schalke, thereby breaking the 4-match winning streak. Moreover, the Leverkuseners could have lost in that meeting (the opponent did not score from a penalty). However, Bayer beat Borussia in the previous away match, which slightly justifies its misfire Before the match with Schalke, the team managed to hammer Eintracht in their field (6 goals scored in the 1st half); earlier on, Bayer defeated Augsburg away. That is, Bayer has no problems with scoring. By the way, the team created a few more goal attempts in addition to the goal scored in the match with Schalke.
The visitors are favorites of the upcoming meeting, but it is not so obvious. No matter how motivated Bayer is, Hertha won't give up so easily in the last home game of the season. In the home arena, the Old Lady gained only 2 points less than Bayer away did. In addition, the men of Dardai did not score only in 3 home matches. Bayern conceded 2 goals in 2 matches of this season in the field of Hertha, and the Old Lady scored the same amount of goals to Borussia Dortmund. Bayer allowed 10 goals in the last 5 away games, having kept a clean sheet only with Stuttgart, and it is unlikely to keep this sheet in the upcoming match. However, the visitors will score their goals as well. Bayer did not score in Bundesliga back in January. Since then, the Leverkuseners have scored at least 1 goal in 15 matches of the German Championship in a row. In 2019, Hertha kept a clean sheet at home only in the match with Hannover. Therefore, I am waiting for an abundance of goals in this meeting. And let’s remember that the teams showed prolific football in the first leg match.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.5 goals scored
