Hertha vs Bayern Predictions and Betting Tips
Hertha BSC host the defending champions on Friday in the German Bundesliga. After a slow start, the Bavarians are already running away with it and will certainly take some stopping. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
The Bavarians have been the dominant side in the league and this fixture having lost just once to Hertha Berlin in 10 years. However, Hertha certainly gave them a tough time in their most recent game as Flick’s side scored a very late goal to run out 4-3 winners. With that win being their second straight victory against Hertha, they will be keen on making it three straight Ws this Friday.
Tough start to the year for the capital club
With four points from a possible eighteen since the turn of the year, life has clearly been difficult for the side from the capital. They currently find themselves in 15th place and could drop to the relegation playoffs spot with a loss this Friday. In their most recent game, they were on the wrong end of a 3-1 scoreline away at Frankfurt. As such, they look like a team in desperate need of a pick-me-up. Can new signing Sami Khedira be exactly that for them?
Seven points clear
Flick’s boys are well on their way to successfully defend their league title. Amidst initial concerns, the Bavarians are now seven points clear of 2nd place Leipzig and will certainly be keen on running away with it. They put four past Hoffenheim in their most recent game to record their 4th consecutive league win.

Hertha vs Bayern Prediction: 1-3
Hertha could’ve gotten a point in the reverse leg but conceded a late Lewandowski penalty and left the Allianz Arena with nothing. However, Bayern Munich has looked flawless in recent weeks and we believe they get this particular job done with ease.
