Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Borussia M’gladbach will look to make amends for a 3-2 loss to Stuttgart when they take on Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga round 26. Die Fohlen have been having their ups and downs of late, and they must get back on course as soon as possible if they are to avoid relegation. Defender Jordan Beyer is back from suspension, while Ramy Bensebaini serves a one-game ban.
Marvin Friedrich should recover in time to face Hertha, while all Lars Stindl, Mamadou Doucoure, and Tony Jantschke continue to miss out with injuries. The capital club, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last four league fixtures. Hertha are not regarded as good travelers, and seeing that die Fohlen are desperate to escape the danger zone, home win should be considered. Both Kelian Nsona and R.A. Jarstein are injured for the visiting side.
