Hertha Berlin hosts Borussia Monchengladbach in round 17 of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, December 21st at Olympiastadion (Berlin)
I understand the bookmaker’s odds in favor of Hertha, but not so much. Yes, I agree that Hertha completely transformed with the appearance of Jürgen Klinsmann on the coaching bridge. They have remained undefeated for the last three matches in the Bundesliga, having won their last two games. In a match with Bayer, Hertha showed that it can endure and wait for its chance, and this is the merit of Jurgen, who brought this quality to the team. He tried out several new schemes, changed the positions of several key players, and the team is on a roll. Unfortunately, what worked once is unlikely to work twice. Of course, if you are not Houdini, Pep or Klopp.

Borussia kept this match in its mind long before it would begin. As it turned out in a match with Paderborn, Gladbach changed almost half of its lineup, allowing some leaders to rest. I do not think this is an accident, given the upcoming holidays. Therefore, we have the right to expect fresh thoughts from Borussia in the attack and even greater aggression because a short rest of the regular players should do them good. Moreover, there is something to fix. Borussia lost the last two away games, and the price of these three points is the first place before the break.
Indeed, both teams have shown good results in recent weeks. But, in my opinion, Hertha still needs to work so that to deprive running Borussia of points. Yes, three points against Bayer are somewhat alarming, but these points were taken with great efforts and not due to skills. I think that the skills should take over in the upcoming meeting, and Borussia will at least not lose.
Prediction for the match: Borussia Monchengladbach to win with +0.5 handicap
