Hertha Berlin vs Eintracht Frankfurt Predictions and Betting Tips
The stage for this one is the Olympiastadion as Hertha Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt go at each other. The action continues in the German Bundesliga following successful completion of the opening matchday last weekend. With both sides in the hunt for all three points, who will bag the three points for themselves?
Hertha Berlin have a slightly superior head-to-head record with six wins over the last seventeen meetings. When both sides meet, it usually ends in a stalemate just like it did seven times out of those seventeen games. We expect goals to rain in Berlin this Friday given that both sides netted nine goals across two legs in the 2019/20 Bundesliga season. Hertha Berlin, however, will be looking to get revenge for last season's 4-1 defeat on home soil. Will they be able to achieve this feat?
Hertha Berlin looking towards a second consecutive league victory
Bruno Labbadia and his troops got off to the best possible start last weekend as they recorded a confidence-boosting victory. In the first half, their attack was much to handle for the Werder Bremen defence as they established a comfortable two-goal cushion before they went into the break. The game was done and dusted in the 60th minute as Cunha scored his team's third. Selke pulled one back for the hosts as a consolation while Cordoba rounded up the scoring as the Berlin-based outfit ran out 4-1 winners.
The Eagles' disappointing start
Eintracht Frankfurt were unable to get past newly-promoted Arminia Bielefeld in their opening fixture. In a game in which they were so dominant, they were profligate in front of goal netting only one of the numerous chances they created. Both sides settled for a goal and a point each which was much to the despair of the home team. Will Adolf Hutter and his troops be able to do better on their travels?

Hertha Berlin vs Eintracht Prediction: 2-1
Both sides will feel they can nick all three points in this feisty encounter given that they cancel each other out more often than not. The home team, however, are tough to beat at home as they've won three of their last four home league matches. Given this, we expect them to come out atop.
