Hertha BSC Berlin

vs

SpVgg Greuther Furth

Preview

Hertha BSC Berlin

• Stefan Leitl's men have been ruthless in the 2. Bundesliga 2026/2027 so far, picking up 18 points from a possible 18 to sit top of the pile and give themselves the best chance of returning to the Bundesliga at the first time of asking.
• Greuther are unbeaten in three 2. Bundesliga 2026/2027 away matches (W1, D2), but with Hertha winning both of their home games and undefeated in Berlin overall, this looks an uphill battle for Die Kleeblätter.

SpVgg Greuther Furth

• Hertha BSC Berlin will look to score goals and play at a high tempo, counter-pressing and transitioning quickly in a 4-2-3-1 setup, while SpVgg Greuther Furth will look to sit back and defend in numbers before hitting men over the top in quick, vertical transitions.
• It will be interesting to see if Vogel's compact, counter-attacking strategy can frustrate Leitl's attack-minded Hertha team.

Head-to-Head

• Hertha BSC Berlin are top of the 2. Bundesliga 2026/2027 with 18 points from their first 6 matches (W6, L0).
• Hertha BSC Berlin have won two and drawn one of the last three meetings between the clubs, with SpVgg Greuther Furth winning none.

Betting Insights

• Hertha BSC Berlin have averaged 3.00 goals per game scored and 1.00 conceded per game at home in the 2. Bundesliga 2026/2027, so it's fair to say that they control the game when on their home field and they have the firepower to take the initiative.
• They are the clear favorites here at 1.57, with Greuther Furth at 4.8 and the draw at 4.4.
• Over 2.5 goals and Both Teams To Score - Yes at 1.4 and 1.42 respectively both look a touch short for this game, although they are favourites of ours, while Hertha to win and BTTS - No is the value selection for Sunday's 2. Bundesliga 2026/2027 clash at Olympiastadion.
• Furth have conceded five goals in three 2. Bundesliga 2026/2027 games away and that could be where Hertha get the majority of their joy in this clash.
• Greuther have failed to win either of their last two away games against Hertha, so there's added incentive for them to at least get on the scoresheet and earn a share of the spoils.

Key Players

• Josip Brekalo has been Hertha's top performer so far in the 2. Bundesliga 2026/2027, scoring four of their 11 goals in the last five matches.
• Felix Klaus is Furth's sharpest weapon, netting five times in six 2. Bundesliga 2026/2027 matches and two of their five goals in their last five games, so he is the man they will play through.

Prediction

• Hertha's superiority across the board should see them edge it and the tempo that they will try to set in Berlin, in a direct clash of styles, should also allow Die Alte Dame to do enough to grab all three points.
• For betting, Hertha to win and BTTS - No is suggested as the value selection, while Over 2.5 and BTTS - Yes are the favourites but look a touch short for clear value.
