Hertha Berlin vs Union Berlin Predictions

• Both teams scored in three of the last four Berlin derbies.
• Union are without a clean sheet in seven consecutive away games.
• Both teams scored in seven of Hertha’s last eight home games.

A Berlin derby with huge consequences

Hertha Berlin are a side in dire straits, marooned in the relegation zone after a run of six defeats across their last seven matches.

Victory in the derby will surely keep Hertha in touch with the positions of safety, though that is certainly not a given against their overachieving neighbours.

Appointed just last month, Felix Magath seeks his first victory as Hertha boss after losing in his opener against Leverkusen (2-1). However, losing only narrowly and scoring against one of the divisions best sides can be seen as a positive step.

Time is running out for Union

Victory here will see Union provisionally level on points with the European placings, though that is a big ask indeed after the visitors have lost each of their last four away league games.

The loss of Max Kruse has impacted Union in a negative way, though they should at least manage to find the net against their lowly neighbours in this crunch clash.

We predict that both teams will score in this game, though it could be a cagey affair which ultimately ends with a 1-1 draw.
