THE PREDICTION
Pressure is mounting on Hertha coach Bruno Labbadia following Tuesday’s 3-0 defeat at home to Hoffenheim, which left them two points above the relegation play-off place. This is another huge game for the Old Lady against one of the sides around them. Labbadia’s men have been particularly struggling in front of goal, failing to score for three successive league games for the first time since April 2019. Werder Bremen are in a similar situation, with just two victories in their last 14 Bundesliga games. They have not exactly been banging in the goals either, finding the net just twice in their last four away from home, but they have also been keeping their goals conceded tally fairly low. With a lot at stake for both teams, this has the potential to be a cagey affair and therefore Under 2.5 Goals looks appealing.
