H2H: Werder Bremen vs. Hertha Berlin - Prediction (19.10.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Werder Bremen are unbeaten in each of their last 11 Bundesliga meetings with Hertha (W5 D6). This is their longest unbeaten run against any current BL side. Werder have lost two of their three Bundesliga home games in 2019/20. Prior to this run, they had avoided defeat in 10 consecutive home matches and only suffered three losses on home turf in the whole of 2018/19.

Winless in three Bundesliga games after a pair of back-to-back 2-2 draws in which they scored both first and last, Werder Bremen have been inconsistent this season (W2, D2, L3). Entertainment value has been a constant however, with all seven of their league games seeing over 2.5 goals and at least one first-half strike. Werder are unbeaten in each of their last 11 Bundesliga home games against Hertha (W9 D2) – their longest such run against a current BL side. Their last loss at home to Hertha came in March 2006 (3-0). Two of Bremen’s losses have come at home and saw them concede first, while their sole win at the Weserstadion saw them net first – a scenario now seen in 17 of their last 18 Bundesliga victories here. Bremen are without a win in each of their last three Bundesliga matches (D2 L1) – they last went longer without a victory in the competition between October and December 2018 (5 games).

Three straight Bundesliga wins account for nine of Hertha Berlin’s ten points this campaign. Each of those wins saw them triumph combined with over 2.5 match goals, as have their last ten competitive games to find a winner either way. Hertha’s longest current winless run in the Bundesliga comes against Werder Bremen (11 games). Their last win over Werder came at home in December 2013 (3-2). No other Bundesliga side this season has seen so many match outcomes decided by half-time, with six of Hertha’s seven games seeing the same HT/FT result (W3, L3). What’s more, each of the occasions this term that they’ve netted a first-half goal saw them gain at least one point (W3, D1), whilst they lost on each occasion that they didn’t (and were 1-0 down).
