Hertha differs in last year's championship by a great game in defence in the current conceded eight goals. For the capital team this is too much. Link is not the most outstanding acts of defence can be, especially with the trauma leader Vladimir Darida club that acting in the center of the field did not allow rival forwards at ease to start the attack. And if we talk about human losses, it is necessary to note the absence of key defender Fabian Lustenberg, received damage to hips and disqualification Valentin Stocker. Currently, however, the result of charges Pal Dardano less dependent on the reliability of the defense. Of course, while we can not say that Hertha completely abandoned the game on the counterattack. But it is impossible not to note the improvement of the team playing positional attack. This season, the old lady fell only once, losing on the road in Bavaria with a score of 0:3. Other lesions in the track list Herta yet. But there are four wins with a total difference of goals scored 8: 1, as well as visiting a draw in the confrontation with Borussia Dortmund.

Cologne, along with RB Leipzig, was a revelation to the championship. But if Red Bull has a fantastic financial capacity and almost his spurt could surprise someone, the success of goats is tied primarily to the understanding of the coaching staff with the far the most outstanding players. However, it should be noted Jonas Hector, which, unlike games for the national team is not tied to the left flank of the defense, but acts much more diverse than some repeating the path of Gareth Bale. Another star in Cologne became the striker Anthony Modeste. On account of the Frenchman's seven goals in seven games, and while he personally led bombing race.

Moreover, one of the world result was recorded not just anywhere, but in the away match against Bayern Munich. Yes, something the team Peter Shtёgera and luck, but mostly in the luck to blame the players Cologne.

Conclusion: none of the current competitors is not hegemonic, when it comes to ball possession. Therefore, the advantage is on the side of the team that can win in the heavy battle for the midfield. However, in any case, such a game seldom obtained effective. Moreover, it is worth considering that in the last five classroom confrontations Hertha Berlin and Cologne only once crossed the Over Goals Total.
