Hertha Berlin vs Bochum Predictions

• Hertha have their longest current active winning streak against Bochum (W5).
• Hertha are unbeaten in five of their last seven home league games.
• Bochum picked up more away points than only rock-bottom Furth.

A perfect opportunity for Hertha

While Hertha Berlin have picked up fewer points than at the same stage of five of their last six top-flight campaigns, this is actually a five-point improvement over last term.

On the back of two winless league games, Hertha welcome poor-travelling Bochum as they seek to extend a current five-game run of clean sheets in H2H encounters.

This game could be a slow burner, considering that Hertha have not scored a Bundesliga home goal before the half-hour mark, though they will hope to eventually see out a much needed victory against a side they have never been beaten by at home since 1995!

Another tough trip for Bochum

The visitors have picked up more road points than only rock-bottom Furth and that is thanks mostly to their 80% losing rate in away league games this term (W2, L8).

Bochum have had to defy the odds to win all of their points this season, but this is certainly a tough ask when considering that just 32% of their league goals and 27% of their points haul were accrued in road trips.

Considering the facts, I predict a home victory, potentially without reply. The odds above evens at the time of writing look like great value for Hertha to succeed here, I think a 2-0 victory could be a likely outcome.
