Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
All eyes will be on Olympiastadion when Hertha Berlin and Koln lock horns in the 2. Bundesliga derby. The capital club made a slow start to the season, but they must be high on confidence following back-to-back wins over Eintracht Braunschweig and Karlsruher. As Hertha Berlin proved their worth in the DFB Pokal win (2-1) over Heidenheim as well, we are positive that they will grab something from Saturday’s showdown. The likes of Diego Demme, Jeremy Dudziak, Linus Gechter, John Anthony Brooks, and Fabian Reese continue to miss out with injuries.
The Billy Goats, on the other hand, did well to eliminate Holstein Kiel in the DFB Pokal last 32 and given their attacking potential, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. In their last meeting in a competitive match Koln outplayed Hertha 5-2, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction. All Sargis Adamyan, Jacob Christensen, and Luca Kilian miss out with injuries for the away team.
