Hertha BSC Berlin
- Hertha BSC Berlin are 6th in the 2. Bundesliga with 48 points from 32 matches.
- Hertha BSC Berlin have won five, drawn five and lost six of their 16 home league matches this season.
- Hertha have failed to take a single point in their last two home matches and are on a two-match losing streak, losing 0-1 to Holstein Kiel at home and 1-0 at Magdeburg.
- Hertha boss Stefan Leitl took charge in February 2025 and has implemented a more disciplined, structured style of build-up and control in the midfield.
SpVgg Greuther Furth
- SpVgg Greuther Furth are 17th with 34 points from the same number of games.
- Furth, meanwhile, have lost ten of their 16 road matches in the 2. Bundesliga, winning only four times.
- Furth boss Heiko Vogel came in December 2025 and has got his team pressing better as a unit, sitting in a more compact shape and looking to counter-attack with pace when they win the ball back.
Head-to-Head
Both teams have one win, one draw and one defeat from their three meetings in all competitions this season, including a 3-3 draw at the Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer in the early part of the campaign.
Key Players
- Hertha are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 with their usual double pivot and wide runners and playmaker in front of them, while Furth will stick to their 3-4-2-1 with the wing-backs providing the width and speed on the flanks and a big man leading the line.
- Furth have managed to score 22 goals in 16 away matches, however, which is a decent record for a bottom-half team and shows that they can hurt teams on the counter-attack.
- Both sides are capable of scoring, however, so expect an end-to-end game, with Hertha’s Reese and Fürth’s red-hot Futkeu both a threat at the opposite ends of the pitch.
Betting Insights
- Hertha’s form has been poor of late, but they have the home advantage and the statistical edge over a Fürth side that has failed to win in their last two trips here.
- The hosts should edge this one and are worth the 1.82 odds, while Over 2.5 goals at 1.38 and Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.41 look like a smart bet.
Prediction
- Hertha’s control-oriented approach will be in direct contrast to Fürth’s more direct style and should make for some interesting tactical intrigue.
- Expect an end-to-end game with chances at both ends and a narrow edge to the home side.
