Hertha Berlin form
At Fortuna Düsseldorf, the capital city lost 0-1 on the first day of the game. This result somehow fitted into the picture. Because even in the preparation, the Berliners didn't necessarily know how to convince. A friendly was also lost 1-0 against FC Antwerpen before Hertha BSC drew 1-1 against Standard Liège. The last three encounters between the Berliners always ended with a maximum of two goals . This was also the case in another test against local rivals BFC Dynamo (2-0). Only in the games against Young Boys (2-4) and RWDM (1-2) did things get a bit richer in goals.
Hertha BSC ended the 2022/23 season at the bottom of the Bundesliga 1 and was the first club to be relegated to the second division. Together with VfL Bochum, Berlin suffered the most defeats (19) and won the least often, namely only seven times. What, however, despite 16th place in the table of home games, was still reasonably decent - the result in the Berlin Olympic Stadium. Five wins and six draws faced six defeats here. The goal difference was also almost equal (24-27). The old lady was far weaker away from home, conceding the most goals with 42 goals. The last two home games were also not lost against VfB Stuttgart (2-1) and VfL Bochum (1-1).
Wehen Wiesbaden form
SV Wehen Wiesbaden laid the foundation for their return to the 2nd Bundesliga in the first leg of the relegation when they defeated Arminia Bielefeld 4-0 . The Wiesbadeners then also won the second leg 2-1. The promoted team then started the 2nd Bundesliga season 23/24 with a 1-1 draw at home against 1. FC Magdeburg.
This draw was the fourth game in a row in which a maximum of two goals were scored. The SVWW had both won the friendlies against VV St. Truiden and Fortuna Sittard 1-0. There was a 1-1 draw against FC Nordsjälland after 90 minutes. The last two league games in the 3rd division also ended with an under 2.5.
Speaking of the 3rd division: Wiesbaden won 21 of the 38 games in the past season and thus only one less than champions SV Elversberg. The Wiesbaden team ended in a draw seven times and lost a total of ten matches. With 71 goals, the SVWW had the second-best offensive, but also conceded 51 goals and thus most of the top 6 teams in the third division. Incidentally, in the last three league games away from home, Wehen Wiesbaden never got the threesome. Because before the relegation we recorded a 1-1 in Elversberg and a 1-3 in Dresden and again a 1-1 draw at MSV Duisburg.
Hertha Berlin - Wehen Wiesbaden: What to expect?
To ensure that this game makes it onto our betting slips for betting , we also want to take a look at the head-to-head between the two clubs. However, this time we cannot contribute anything to the H2H comparison in our analysis. Because Hertha BSC and SV Wehen Wiesbaden actually meet for the very first time on the green pitch . We haven't even been able to record a friendly game so far.
Although Hertha BSC lost the start of the 2nd Bundesliga in Düsseldorf, it is strong enough to bring the promoted team to its knees. Which is why we definitely recommend Tip 1 for a home win in this forecast . However, you get much better odds with your bet tip with the under 2.5. The last three Berlin games, like the last four games in Wiesbaden, ended with a maximum of two goals.
- Hertha Berlin to win
- Under 2.5
