THE PREDICTION
Two successive victories see Hertha head to RB Leipzig with real confidence of gaining something against a side who have endured an unexpectedly tough start to the season. The hosts have failed to win in their last four games in all competitions, losing three of those matches and more worryingly shipping 12 goals in the process. With home advantage in their favour, Leipzig won’t be afraid of taking the game to the visitors despite their poor recent run with head coach Jesse Marsch a naturally attacking manager and his side having scored five goals across their two home games. However, it would be no surprise to see a Hertha outfit full of confidence with five goals over the course of their most recent two Bundesliga matches conjure up chances at the other end, so consider both teams to score in this one.
