Hertha Berlin
Match Time & Date:

13:00
Prediction: 1-1
Paderborn
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Olympiastadion when Hertha Berlin and Paderborn square off against each other in the opening match of the season. The likes of Michael Cuisance, Kevin Sessa, Diego Demme, and Luca Schuler are the new names in Pal Dardai’s team, while Suat Serdar has signed a permanent deal with Serie A side Verona. Bence Dardai has left the club as well.
The visitors, meanwhile, did well to beat Eredivisie champions in their last warm-up game. Given Paderborn’s excellent performances in preseason, including a 5-0 crushing of Birmingham City, we predict that Lukas Kwasniok’s troops are going to grab something from Saturday’s encounter. You should bear in mind that both sides managed to find the net in each of their last four meetings in all competitions. A man to watch in the away team will be summer recruit Sven Michel, who joined the club from Bundesliga side Augsburg earlier this summer.
