The visiting contingent have been hit-and-miss all season but are still well-placed on the log. Only four points adrift of Hertha Berlin, it is fair to say Augsburg are in for a shout here. However, to have any chances of depriving the hosts of points, Fuggerstadter will be required to turn in a performance of the highest quality.

Hertha Berlin vs FC Augsburg Team News

On the road to the Red Bull Arena to take on high-flyers RB Leipzig, Hertha Berlin gave the home side a run for their money, making sure of a point at the sound of the final whistle. Though headed into the game as huge underdogs, Die Alte Dame turned a corner, showing grit and resilience to salvage a draw.

Indeed, it was tough game between these two sides as they were equally matched on the pitch. RB Leipzig will feel deprived of the three points as profligacy turned the order of the day for the Timo Werner-inspired side. Meanwhile, Hertha Berlin were clinical, aiding them to a point in the fixture.

Following the game, head coach Bruno Labbadia was praised for the manner in which he has had his side playing since the league restart. They seem unstoppable and you get the feeling they might just break into the highly-coveted top-six mix before the end of the campaign.

FC Augsburg, on the other hand, were held to a goalless away draw by a resurgent Paderborn side – one that have failed to admit defeat in each of their last three fixtures. Despite dominating proceedings from start to finish, the home side managed to keep Augsburg at bay throughout the course of the game.

Heiko Herrlich’s charges must have been kicking themselves for failing to find a route past the opposition’s sturdy defense but will be looking to bounce right back with a win in Saturday’s fixture. They will be needed to put their best foot forward to stand any chances against Hertha Berlin.

For this fixture, both side’s recent form is likely to have a huge bearing on the outcome of the game. The hosts have a pretty poor defensive record having conceded 50 goals so far – higher than the number of goals they have managed. However, judging by recent performances, this side seem on cloud-nine.

Meanwhile, Augsburg ended a frustrating four-game losing streak with a comfortable away win over disparaged Schalke 04. Their draw against Paderborn in mid-week made it two games unbeaten for Fuggerstadter.

Hertha Berlin vs Augsburg Predictions

Hertha Berlin have been very impressive since the restart of the league and have put no foot wrong in their bid to securing a decent finish on the standings. The highlight of the post-COVID campaign was the 4-0 home drubbing of Union Berlin. The visiting contingent seem out-of-sorts and barring a big win against a weak Schalke side last weekend, Augsburg have been below-par over the last few weeks.

Also, Die Alte Dame are known for their defensive frailties, one which will likely make a difference here. Expect a comfortable Hertha Berlin win with Augsburg grabbing a consolation. As such, the “both teams to score, home side to win” market seem the safest punt.
