Game Preview
If Hertha Berlin wins Friday night in Cologne, they will improve their Bundesliga standing and move out of last place. On the other hand, Koln has won three of their previous five matches and would move up to 10th place with a victory.
After a poor stretch in which they won just one of 10 league games between late January and early April, Steffen Baumgart’s team has won four of their previous five games. It’s likely that Baumgart’s Billy Goats won’t be able to repeat their success from last season, when they finished in the top half of the league and advanced to the Europa Conference League.
Given that league leaders Bayern Munich may need a win at RheinEnergieStadion to be certain of an 11th consecutive Bundesliga title, Koln are likely to need maximum points from future matches against Hertha and Werder Bremen if they are to catch up in the standings before the season’s final day.
Even though Koln’s fans and players probably won’t remember this season for very long, the club did well to avoid relegation considering it has been relegated to Germany’s second division five times this century.
Let’s check the latest picks, Bundesliga news, stats and Bundesliga expert picks for Koln vs Hertha Berlin. We’ve plenty of Bundesliga predictions for you to consider.
Hertha, who are staring down the barrel of their first relegation in a decade, would do anything to switch places in the table with their upcoming opponents. Their previous game was a 2-1 victory that gave them hope of avoiding relegation because it pulled both VfL Bochum and Stuttgart to within three points of them in the standings.
If Pal Dardai’s team beats Koln on Friday, they would move off the bottom of the table for the first time in weeks due to their superior goal difference compared to Bochum, who are now in the other automatic relegation zone.
Next weekend, Dardai and his players must face Bochum at the Olympiastadion in a must-win game, and until then, they can only concentrate on themselves and hope that teams like Stuttgart and Schalke 04 drop as many points as possible.
