Schalke vs Hertha Berlin Prediction & Tips
The ‘Royal Blues’ arrive at the start of the season with mixed feelings: the pre-season was quite irregular and the last friendly ended with a 2-4 home defeat against Sevilla. Despite showing dynamism in attack, defensive problems continue to be the main headache for new coach Miron Muslic. In the last five official matches, the team conceded 11 goals, a worrying statistic ahead of a long and demanding campaign.
Hertha Berlin closed their preparations for the new season on a good note with solid results in friendlies. The team managed three wins in their last five matches and the 1:1 draw away to Scotland’s Motherwell showed their ability to compete against physically strong opponents. In terms of form and confidence, Stefan Leitl’s side seem to be better prepared than their opponents.
