Hertha Berlin hosts Union Berlin in round 10 of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, December 4th at Olympiastadion (Berlin)
Not so long ago, Hertha Berlin got good investors and significant opportunities in the transfer market. So far, Hertha has failed to break into the group of leaders in the Bundesliga. Bruno Labbadia does not impress with the quality of his work on the coaching bridge - a place in the middle of the standings and the absence of European Cup prospects. Rather, the relegation zone is closer for Berliners. In the current season, such newcomers as goalkeeper Schwolow, defenders Alderete, Zeefuik, and Netz, midfielder Guendouzi (on loan from Arsenal), as well as forwards Ngankam and Cordoba joined Hertha’s roster. The fans expected better results in the championship from the star players of the team, namely, Cunha, Piatek, Lukebakio, Boyata, Stark, Darida, and Mittelstadt.

Union Berlin was promoted to the elite of German football last year, and it immediately managed to gain a foothold in the middle of the standings. In the current championship, Urs Fischer's men look even more interesting in the Bundesliga - an intermediate sixth place, 16 points, and real prospects for gaining a ticket to European cups. The team’s game pleases the fans with its high scoring indicators (21 goals in 9 games) that are at the level of the grandees of national football. The transfer policy is focused on free agents or footballers for a very modest amount of transfer compensation. Berliners do not disdain rental deals either. The newcomers to the team include Karius, Knoche, Schlotterbeck, Giesselmann, Griesbeck, Kruse, Awoniyi, Pohjanpalo, Teuchert, Endo, and Bulter. Especially useful for Union was the signing of Kruse - six goals and five assists in the championship.
It will be an interesting match in terms of derby status and tournament standings of each club. All experts would have swapped their positions before the start of the season. But it is not money and prospects that play football, but the readiness, coherence of team actions, and the efficiency of the players. We think that the derby will please us with spectacular football and an abundance of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
