Both teams have celebrated in the Cup and the only difference is that Hertha has played the first draw after two victories in the last round, in which Borussia celebrated after a draw in Augsburg. Last season Borussia celebrated in both of their mutual duels.
Hertha is still in a good rhythm, though they played a draw after three consecutive wins in the last round. The win in the Cup will be counted as expected, and this can also be said for the home triumph over Nuremberg in the first round, when they with a lot of luck celebrated with 1-0, with the proviso that their goalkeeper Jarstein defended a penalty. In the second round they were outplayed on their field in Gelsenkirchen, but they did not receive any goals and they managed to score two for the victory over Schalke.
In the last round, another unpleasant encounter, this time against Wolfsburg and they were again outplayed and Jarstein was again the best on the field. However, it should be said that they could have won that match with a little luck, because they were twice in the lead, but in a very interesting ending the match ended with 2-2. Plattenhardt and Dilrosun were refreshments in the team, and now center-back Torunarigh is injured, so he will be replaced by Lustenberger.
Probable lineups Hertha BSC: Jarstein – Lazaro, Stark, Lustenberger, Plattenhardt – Maier – Kalou, Grujić, Duda, Dilrosun – Ibisevic
Borussia was also undefeated in the first three rounds as well as in the Cup, where they were particularly convincing. In the championship they celebrated twice, both times on their field, while they played one draw as guests. Already after three rounds, there is a noticeable difference in the Borussia’s game when they are in M'gladbach and when they are outaide of their stadium. In the first round they had an unpleasant rival, Bayer Leverkusen, but they managed to routinely celebrate with 2-0. In Augsburg, they played a different match and they were also outplayed, and they were even losing at one point, but their reservist Plae has scored an equalizing goal.
In the last round, they had a new tough match, this time against Schalke and they had a lot of problems to come to a triumph, but the hero of the match, goalkeeper Sommer, was excellent, but it also speaks about how they played in that match. The early lead has helped a lot, and just before the end, they have confirmed the victory, thanks to another player from the bench, this time Herrmann, who achieved a decisive goal. Striker Plea was now a starter, and Elvis returned to the right side, as well as Zakaria in midfield. Stindl is back in the game, but he will probably stay on the bench this time.
Probable lineups Borussia M’gladbach: Sommer – Elvedi, Ginter, Jantschke, Wendt – Strobl – Kramer, Hofmann – T.Hazard, F.Johnson – Plea
Both teams were equally successful in the first three rounds and their mutual duel might be very interesting, but we will give a mild advantage to Borussia, which has a better quality team, while Hertha still has better results than the game itself.
Pick: Asian Handicap 0
Borussia Moenchengladbach 2.16 - 116/100
