Hertha Berlin will try to bounce back after two poor performances in order to mainain their Champions League hopes, but Hoffenheim has played recently and will be a tough nut to crack in this Bundesliga 30th round.
Hoffenheim managed to climb out of the relegation zone after winning 10 points in the last 4 matches, but the hosts are still in danger, sitting just 3 points above the red zone. Hoffenheim seems to have hit form at the right time, but it has to be said that they had a relatively easy run of matches in these last 4 rounds – meeting teams like Hamburg or Frankfurt and no top, in form opponent.
Hertha had a brilliant season so far, as the visitors are currently 3rd in the standings, but the results in the last two rounds put Hertha’s Top 4 spot in massive danger. The hosts lost 0-5 at Gladbach and only drew 2-2 at home with Hannover in the previous two matches. Right now, Hertha is holding a slim 1 point advantage over 4th placed Leverkusen and no less than three teams are sitting 4 points behind, smelling blood.

Team news & lineups:
Hoffenheim won’t be able to count on Kim, Rudy, Bicakcic and Herlind, while Schwegler is a doubt. Hertha won`t have Allagui, Kurt and the suspended Weiser in the lineup.
Hoffenheim: Baumann – Kaderabek, Schär, Süle, Toljan – Amiri, Strobl – Uth, Ochs, Volland – Kramaric
Hertha Berlin: Jarstein – Pekarik, Stark, Brooks, Plattenhardt – Lustenberger, Skjelbred – Haraguchi, Darida, Kalou – Ibisevic
Hertha has been super solid all season and despite a couple of hiccups in the last two rounds, I expect them to continue fighting for a Champions League spot until the end. They proved their worth during the campaign and two poor matches do not mean that Hertha will collapse.
Look for Hertha to bounce back today and claim at least a draw against a dangerous, but a bit overrated Hoffenheim team. The hosts are playing well lately, but this will be by fair their toughest test since they started winning matches. Hertha claimed wins in plenty of games like these this season, so my tip is Hertha to win with a +0 asian handicap. I will invest medium – high stakes on this bet. Prediction: Hoffenheim – Hertha Berlin 1-2.

I totally disagree. Hoffenheim has a young talented maneger .and hertha come after a 0-5 and a draw home against a pathetic hanover.you said that this is by far the toughest test for hofenheim since they start to win.I mean they won against wolfsburg what the hell. anyway an out of form hertha play against a good shape hofenheim, its just an ilogic bet. 2-0 hofenheim for me
They won against Wolfsburg (who was on the back of an UCL match), but Hertha has been better than Wolfsburg this season. Just because they don`t have big names does not mean they should be underestimated. I stick with my bet, but your comment is welcome, different points of view can only add value to the preview. Cheers!
haffenheim was lucky at the end.it should it be a draw
Maybe, but I think if somebody deserved to win, it was Hoffenheim. Turns out you were right. With Dortmund and Bayern coming in the next 2 rounds, Hertha seems finished. What a collapse!
