Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
After suffering a 2-0 loss at Hoffenheim, Hertha Berlin will look to give fans some cheer when they host Bayer Leverkusen to their Olympiastadion. The capital club have been having their ups and downs of late, and, as a result, they sit in 12th place ahead of Matchday 11. Dedryck Boyata serves a one-game ban, while fellow defenders Marton Dardai, Marvin Plattenhardt, Jordan Torunarigha, and Lukas Klunter remain in the recovery room.
Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their three-game winless run. The BayArena outfit have been struggling in the Bundesliga ever since key attacker Patrick Schick suffered an injury, and seeing that all Aranguiz, Bellarabi, and Bakker are injured as well, we are tempted to put our money on Hertha Berlin this time out. In their last meeting in the German capital Hertha outclassed Leverkusen 3-0.
Highlighted Player (Alexander Schwolow):
One of the key cogs in Freiburg’s push for Bundesliga survival in 2017/18, Alexander Schwolow remains remembered for his impressive displays against some of league’s biggest sides which proved decisive in his team’s relegation battle.
A product of Freiburg academy, Alexander Schwolow was forced to work for his place under the spotlight and it wasn’t until his loan spell in the Third Division with Armenia Bielefeld in 2014 that Schwolow earned his place between the sticks at his parent club. His stock went through a rapid rise in 2016/17 campaign when Alexander Schwolow played a great part in his team’s seventh-place finish and a place in the UEFA Europa league qualification.
Schwolow’s impressive goalkeeping exploits got his name written in the notebook of some of Europe’s biggest clubs and it is fair to say we could see his move abroad in foreseeable future. Alexander Schwolow represented Germany in U18, U19 and U20 categories but has yet to earn a senior cap.
