Home: Preussen Munster
- Preussen Munster have drawn three, won one and lost one of their last five 2. Bundesliga games.
- Alexander Ende’s narrow, attack-minded system places a lot of faith in the team’s ability to press and dominate in the final third of the field, and they play with a high-intensity tempo.
- Preussen Munster have won three, drawn six and lost three of their 12 home 2. Bundesliga fixtures this season, scoring 17 times.
Away: Hertha BSC Berlin
- Hertha BSC Berlin have won two and lost three of their last five league games.
- Hertha boss Stefan Leitl has fashioned a structured team from his squad that can change shape and maintain possession, press in unison and create chances on the break in a controlled manner.
- Hertha BSC Berlin are seventh in the 2. Bundesliga table on 37 points from 24 games, eleven points ahead of Munster in 13th, and they’ve conceded 15 times in 11 away trips this term - an average of 1.36 per game on their travels.
Head-to-Head
A head-to-head record of two Hertha wins and one Munster win from the last three league meetings, and the narrow margins of victory in all three games, suggests this will be a close match between two very different tactically-based clubs.
Key Players
- Oliver Batista Meier is Munster’s most effective finisher in the league this term with six goals in 24 appearances, but Jorrit Hendrix has chipped in with two in the club’s last five.
- Luca Schuler is Hertha’s top scorer in the 2. Bundesliga with seven goals in 19 league appearances, and he should provide a focal point for the visitors.
Betting Insights
A close draw seems a likely outcome on Sunday and the odds about the game ending even at 3.5 look tempting, while over 2.5 goals at 1.7 and both teams to score (yes) at 1.55 reflect the expectation for a high-scoring, evenly-matched clash.
