Prediction: 1-1
Greuther Furth
Hertha Berlin will look to bounce back from a massive 3-0 loss to Hamburger SV when they take on Greuther Furth in the 2. Bundesliga round 4. The capital club made a slow start to the season, with the team losing each of the first three league fixtures and, no doubt, they are low on confidence ahead of Saturday’s clash. Experienced defender Peter Pekarik is pushing for a start, while goalkeeper Marius Gersbeck remains on the sidelines through suspension. All Zeefuik, Maza, Maolida, and Rogel should miss out with injuries.
The Green and Whites, on the other hand, head into the match following a goalless draw with St. Pauli. Greuther Furth and Hertha Berlin seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, the share of spoils is on the cards at Olympiastadion. Midfielder Orestis Kiomourtzoglou should be the only absentee in the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Peter Pekarik):
Peter Pekarik is a Slovakian defender born on 30th October 1986 in Zilina, and has so far made over 60 appearances for the country’s national team. The full-back spent his early career at boyhood club Zilina, and his big break came in January 2009, when he joined German giants Wolfsburg.
Pekarik in turn helped his new side lift their first ever Bundesliga trophy in his debut season, but eventually lost his place in the starting line-up and decided to join Hertha after a season-long loan at Kayserispor. The right-sided defender has since featured in over 70 league matches for the Olympiastadion outfit, who enjoyed a great deal of success during the 2015/2016 campaign.
Pekarik has been one of Slovakia’s most consistent performers since making his debut in 2006, and he started three games for the team at the 2010 World Cup.
