Augsburg vs Hertha Berlin Soccer Betting Picks
Often forced to fight for maintenance, Augsburg has stood out in recent years by taking only 15th place in the last two seasons. For the moment, Heiko Herrlich’s men have returned to this new exercise much better, obtaining 10 points during the first 6 days and are in 6th place in the standings. Less well lately with a draw conceded against Wolfsburg (0-0) and logical defeats conceded against Leipzig (0-2) and Bayer Leverkusen (3-1), they have finally returned to success by winning ahead of Mainz (3-1) last weekend.
Hertha Berlin, meanwhile, comes out of an average season punctuated by a place in the soft underbelly of the standings of this Bundesliga. With a first victory obtained on the 1st day against Werder Bremen (1-4), the players of the capital then drifted over the following 4 days by losing to Frankfurt (1-3), Bayern Munich (4-3), Stuttgart (0-2) and Leipzig (2-1). Last week, they finally stopped the bleeding by holding Wolfsburg in check (1-1).
The staff for Augsburg vs Hertha Berlin
In Augsburg, the important Moravek should be the only player absent from this team. Offensively, seasoned midfielder Hahn netted a brace and brought his total of goals scored to 3 since the start of the season. On the other hand, the very good Niederlechner has not yet found the loophole this year.
On the Berlin side, the important defender Torunarigha and the holders last season Klünter and Ascacibar are not able to play this meeting. Last week, young Brazilian striker Cunha scored his third goal of the season while former Lorient Gendouzi made his debut in his new colours.
