Hertha Berlin hosts Schalke in round 14 of the German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, January 2nd at Olympiastadion (Berlin)
There is a feeling that the Berlin team will not advance to the European Cups again. Hertha has a quite good budget by the standards of the Bundesliga, but the team can't even get into the Europa League. Now the Old Lady is much closer to the relegation zone - with 13 points, Hertha is only three points ahead of it, while the sixth position is as many as eight points ahead. In the last round before the New Year's break, predictions for Hertha's defeat were true for the first time in five matches. The Old Lady visited far from the most formidable Freiburg and not only lost but received a 4:1 romp. The score was generally deserved since the Berliners allowed the Black and Whites to create too much in the attack.

While Hertha has some minor problems, Schalke's results are generally difficult to describe in words. The Miners did not win in the entire second half of last season, and the bets on them never paid off in 13 matches. Having scored only four points, the team firmly settled on the last line of the standings. As expected, the predictions for Schalke's defeat were correct once again in the last round. The Miners were favorites because they hosted rather weak Arminia, but they could not cope even with it, losing with a minimum score of 0:1.
Hertha is certainly not a top team, but Schalke is so weak that you can bet against it in almost every match, especially when the Miners play away. Moreover, Berlin went for a break in relatively good shape. We think the hosts will gain three points.
Prediction for the match: Hertha Berlin to win
