Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Following yet another disappointing defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt, Hertha Berlin will look to give fans some cheer when they take on Borussia M’gladbach in the Bundesliga round 20. The capital club are on a four-game losing run in the German top flight, meaning that Sunday’s clash is of big importance for them. However, home win should not be considered as Hertha have been struggling at the back of late.
Both Tolga Cigerci and Wilfried Kanga are facing races against the clock to be fit for the match, while all Pekarik, Rogel, Jovetic, Ejuke, and Nsona remain in the treatment room. Meanwhile, die Fohlen failed to impress in a goalless draw with relegation-threatened Schalke, but we predict that they will take advantage of Hertha’s shaky defence. Keep in mind, though, that important midfielder Julian Weigl serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
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.
