Hertha Berlin vs Bayern Munich Preview

Berlin could have done better in their midweek clash as they lost to Swedish minors Ostersunds however they have established themselves as a strong German side over the years and that has been built on a solid home record.

They have scored in all of their home games this year and with Bayern Munich still missing Manuel Neuer they look likely to still score at least a goal in this game.

They have a few attacking absentees but Matthew Leckie has taken up goal scoring responsibilities well ensuring that they don’t miss their injured absentees very much.

It is also worth noting that he has scored all his goals (4) this season at home.

It has been a busy and tough week for Bayern Munich.

The German champions were held to a 2-2 home draw by Wolfsburg on Friday after cruising to a 2-0 lead in that game.

They went on to lose 3-0 to PSG on Wednesday and Carlo Ancelotti was sacked within 24 hours of that loss.

The Italian leaves behind a divided dressing room as well a pessimistic group of players, and the first task facing interim manager Willy Sagnol will be to get the players mentally fit to get their season back on track.

Despite all the dramas of this week, we expect Bayern Munich to give a good account of themselves in a very hostile away venue.

Their backup goal keeper Sven Ulreich has proven to be an unreliable source of inspiration at the back and it is hard seeing them keeping a clean sheet in this game.
