Wolfsburg to remain unbeaten for 6th match in a row?

Wolfsburg has recorded 3 wins and 2 draws in the last 5 away games against Hertha. While the Berlin hosts started 2023 with a defeat, the Wolfsburg guests secured a smashing victory. The game could still be exciting, because Hertha has a balanced record in their own stadium, although Wolfsburg have also presented themselves well away from home . Furthermore, the last direct duels often ended in draws. 

Hertha was extremely weak against Bochum. The defense in particular is heavily criticized by Fredi Bobic, and their trainer Sandro Schwarz. The Berliners currently occupy the penultimate place in the table. They are currently missing only 1 point on the relegation rank. Wolfsburg meanwhile dismantled Freiburg. They were hungry and aggressive. They were also very effective in front of goal. They are now 7th with 26 points

Hertha Berlin analysis

Hertha started 2023 with a 1-3 defeat against Bochum . Managing director Bobic did not spare criticism afterwards, because the defense was too weak. Bobic demands a completely different duel consequence against Wolfsburg. Before the encounter with Bochum, the old lady played 6 test games, 3 of which were decided and 2 draws were good. Only once did they admit defeat.

So far, the people of the capital have only won 2 games in front of their home crowd and made 4 draws. They gave up twice. They finished 12 times and allowed 11 goals. In 6 of the 8 home games, goals were scored here and there. Only 1 win and 1 draw were possible abroad. They accepted 6 defeats. 8-14 is the away goal balance.

Dodi Lukébakio has scored the most goals for Hertha so far with 7 goals. Suat Serdar marked the second most with 4 hits. A goalscorer bet on Lukébakio could certainly be an option, especially since he has served his yellow card suspension and will be used against Wolfsburg.

On July 1st, 2022, Sandro Schwarz was signed as a coach at Hertha Berlin. The 44-year-old has never won against Wolfsburg or Niko Kovac as a trainer . Although he is making his debut against the wolves as a Hertha coach. He knows Wolfsburg and Kovac from his time as a Mainz coach. Black has an average success rate as a coach of 1.42 PPG. Under his leadership, Hertha has only averaged 0.82 points in 17 games so far.

Wolfsburg

The Wolves swept Freiburg 6-0 off the pitch in their first competitive game this year . Their effectiveness in front of goal could come in handy in this game, at least the Freiburg defense didn't have access to the Wolfsburg offense. The fact is that the 6-0 win was VfL's highest win of the season so far. Before this game they played 5 friendlies, of which they won 2, lost 1 and were good for 2 draws. The win against Freiburg was also the 5th Bundesliga win in a row. For 9 league games they have not suffered a defeat.

Wolfsburg have decided 3 games abroad and drawn 2 draws. They gave up 3 times. However, the last away defeat was on 09/18/2022. They finished 9 times and allowed 10 goals. In 4 of the 8 guest games (this is the last 4) goals were scored by both sides . 4 wins and 3 draws were possible in front of a home crowd. 1 defeat they accepted. 21:10 is the home goal record. Against Hertha they will probably only have to do without center forward Lukas Nmecha due to injury. The 24-year-old has scored the second-most hits and handed out the most assists so far.

Niko Kovac was also only signed this season. The 51-year-old has an average success rate as a coach of 1.83 PPG. For the wolves, this is 1.78 points on average after 18 match days. Against Schwarz he managed 5 wins and 1 draw, while he was then under contract with Frankfurt and Bayern. Against Hertha he had 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats, but also as Frankfurt and Bayern coach . Accordingly, as a Wolfsburg trainer, he is about to make his debut against the Berliners.

Hertha Berlin - Wolfsburg: What to expect? 

Both teams have faced each other 59 times so far. 22 games were decided by Hertha and 20 by Wolfsburg. They shared the points 17 times. In the past 10 direct duels, the old lady has only won 1 game. Wolves decided 4. 4 times they drew. Hertha Berlin scored 9 and VfL 15 goals. 5 times both came to a conclusion and 5 times more than 2.5 goals were scored. 7 times in the 10 games both drew at the break.

If you want to risk a bet on Wolfsburg to win (2) is optimal. Of course, a tie cannot be completely ruled out, which is why a double chance X2 or a draw no bet tip 2 bet is also an option. We expect both teams to score. Probably over 2.5 goals to be seen as well. Even if the first half of the game often ended in a draw in the past direct duels, we tend offer a Wolfsburg to win on first half, because of the current form of both, even if it is a risk bet.

• Both teams to score 
• Over 2.5 
• Wolfsburg to win (risk)
• X2 double chance
• Wolfsburg to win 1st Half (risk)
