Game Preview
Bayer Leverkusen will be in the hunt for points when they host Hertha Berlin in Bundesliga action on Sunday. As for Hertha, they recently moved outside of the relegation zone after a 2-0 win versus Augsburg last weekend.
Even though Leverkusen have only grabbed 4 points out of their last 5 league games after drawing 1-1 away to Freiburg in their latest matchup, however fans still trust manager Xabi Alonso at the helm.
The former Real Madrid player is currently in his first managing stint at top level, pushing Leverkusen away from the relegation edge after a brilliant run in form during the early weeks of his tenure. Their latest achievement comes from international play, as his side completed a comeback versus Monaco in the Europa League last Thursday.
Let’s check the latest picks, Bundesliga news, stats and Bundesliga expert picks for Leverkusen vs Hertha. We’ve plenty of Bundesliga predictions for you to consider.
Sadly for fans, there isn’t much Leverkusen can play for domestically for the rest of the season outside of improving the side as much as possible. Alonso will be focusing on building confidence by defeating Hertha going into the first leg against the Hungarian champions on Thursday, with the Europa League being their only true chance for silverware this season and even a Champions League spot next one.
Hertha’s boss Sandro Schwarz, who has been publicly backed by the club’s board on several occasions even after tough results, seems to have found a system that works at the Olympiastadion, recently beating Borussia Monchengladbach and Augsburg 4-1 and 2-0 respectively, at home.
The next step for the manager is to improve his squad’s away performances, having lost 8 out of their 10 matches away from home in the Bundesliga campaign. However, due to the lack of points from the teams below Hertha in the relegation zone, home wins might be enough to keep the team afloat.
Nevertheless, Schwarz will certainly not rely on it, as there is a chance for them to capitalize on a rather distracted Leverkusen side. However this time around we believe Leverkusen have a slight edge as they are playing at home.
