In a weekend match on Sat Feb 25th, in week 22, Hertha BSC will play host to Augsburg in a meeting of these two closely matched Bundesliga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 0 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. In their last match, Hertha BSC recorded a 1-4 loss against Borussia Dortmund. Karim Adeyemi struck first for Borussia Dortmund in the 27th minute on a feed from Marco Reus, then Donyell Malen added another in the 31st minute. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 6 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 13th placed Augsburg, recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Hoffenheim. Fredrik Jensen scored the first goal for Augsburg in the 88th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Hoffenheim couldn’t muster any offence and Augsburg ran away with the shutout win. Augsburg looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10.
On Sep 4th, Augsburg hosted Hertha BSC in their last match together. Hertha BSC was victorious by a score of 2 to 0 in front of almost 26000 dissapointed fans. Dodi Lukebakio scored the first goal for Hertha BSC in the 57th minute, then Marco Richter added another in the 3rd minute of the second half’s stoppage time In the end, Augsburg couldn’t muster any offence and Hertha BSC ran away with the shutout win.
Augsburg’s most prolific scorer has been Mergim Berisha. He has netted three goals over the last 5 matches. Dodi Lukebakio and Derry Lionel Scherhant are the top scorers for Hertha BSC in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats
Hertha BSC will be without Stevan Jovetić, Agustín Rogel, Chidera Ejuke, Rune Jarstein and Kelian Nsona Wa Saka, while André Hahn, Reece Oxford, Ruben Vargas, Iago, Tobias Strobl and Irvin Cardona are unavailable to play for Enrico Maaßen’s team.
