Bayer Leverkusen – Hertha BSC – This season Hertha played in the European league, and Bayer was not in Europe at all, but the team from Leverkusen glanced at both home competitions, while Hertha was knocked out on all fronts. They dropped out of the European League, as well as from the Cup, and in the championship are in the middle of the table. Bayer won the semifinals of the Cup, while in the championship they were in a great second place and placed their place in the Champions League. Hertha is in a row of four games without a win, and Bayer has not lost the same number of games in the series. In the first part of the season, Berlin was 2: 1 for Herth.
Bayer Leverkusen
The game of the quarter-final of the Cup, played by Bayer on home ground with Werder on Tuesday, best showed how much the confidence of “Apothecaries” this season was. After less than ten minutes the game lost 2: 0, but there was no panic and they first gained the advantage of the opponents, so in the extra time with two goals scored to win 4: 2 and plasmas in the semifinals.
In the previous championship, they remixed away Freiburg with a score of 0: 0 and it was the first match of this season in which they did not score a goal. He did not play the strongest squad and there was a reason for inefficiency, and the confirmation came in a draw against Werder because in that match, Brandt scored two goals after resting in Freiburg. Bellarabi has excellent performance after entering the bench, so we are now expecting him in the starting line, which will not be L.Bendera because of the injury.
The likely starting line-up of Bayer Leverkusen: Leno – Henrichs, Tah, S.Bender, Wendell – Kohr, Aranguiz – Bellarabi, Volland, Brandt – Alario
Hertha BSC
Hertha has no other obligations other than the championship, but this team does not help in recording good results, so in the four rounds of the continuation of the season, they are still without a win. It is a bad consolation that they have remitted three times and only once lost, and that they receive few goals. That’s why they get even less, so their European positions are getting further. In two of the tournaments in the second part of the championship, they did not score any goals, and both duels in Berlin played 1: 1.
They did not have very easy opponents, because they played against Borussia Dortmund and Hoffenheim, but they were visiting the weaker Stuttgart and Werder and did not triumph again. Even more worrying is that both Werder and Hoffenheim were completely outplayed, especially Hoffenheim in the last round when the goalkeeper Kraft rescued them. After Bremen, Torunarigh changed Lustenberger to the post, Daria replaced Maiera, and Esswein played instead of the injured Dude. Nothing helped, and now we expect Weisera to join the team from the first minute, instead of the indisponed Esswein, and the return of Maiere.
PREDICTION: Bayer Leverkusen win @ 1.92
