Hertha Berlin vs Freiburg prediction

Expect a grand old atmosphere at the Olympiastadion as a fallen giant in Hertha Berlin try to reach the semi-finals of the DFB-Pokal. They come into the match with new-found confidence after a 0-3 win away at SV Elversberg but face a formidable challenge against Julian Schuster’s Freiburg. The top flight visitors are just outside of the European places in the Bundesliga and no doubt have their eye on a cup final.

However, this is a stern away challenge in front of a crowd that will no doubt give the hosts a huge boost, with the Hertha players expected to give everything they have in what is a massive occasion for them and their respective careers. Whilst it’s hard to see them shutting out Freiburg, they are more than capable of carving out some big opportunities themselves going forward. In what should be an exciting encounter, consider backing both teams to find the net in regulation.
