Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Mainz, Hertha Berlin will look to return to winning ways when they take on Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga round 8. Hertha have yet to find their best form, but their display in the draw with die Nullfunfer is surely giving fans a reason for optimism. Both Davie Selke and Suat Serdar should recover from illness to face Hoffenheim.
The visiting team, on the other hand, head into Sunday’s clash following a goalless draw with Freiburg. Andre Breitenreiter’s troops often struggle on the travels; therefore, we do not believe that they are going to collect more than one point from the Olympiastadion showdown. As for the away side, all Robert Skov, Benjamin Hubner, and Ihlas Bebou are sidelined through injuries, while Ermin Bicakcic will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Player (Vladimir Darida):
Born in Sokolov on 8 August 1990, Vladimir Darida is yet another Czech Republic footballer who has made a name for himself in German Bundesliga, although not before leaving his mark on the domestic competition. The highly rated midfielder, who can successfully cover a number of positions in the middle of the park, enjoyed several successful years at Viktoria Plzen, making no fewer than 28 appearances in European competitions, before deciding to leave for SC Freiburg.
Darida performed so well in his first two Bundesliga campaign that he was purchased by Hertha Berlin when his previous employers got relegated to the second division, and he in turn helped the Olympiastadion outfit enjoy a thoroughly impressive campaign.
Darida was a surprise inclusion to the Czech Republic squad for the Euro 2012 finals, but there were no surprises when he played a key role to help Repre qualify for the Euro 2016 tournament. He impressed playing in a more advanced role in the absence of Tomas Rosicky, and he has already earned more than 30 caps for the national team.
