Game Prediction
As part of the Round of 16 in the German Cup, two representatives from the second division will clash in a showdown between Hertha and Hamburg. Our analysts have prepared a match preview.
Hertha gains momentum
Having suffered relegation from the elite German football last season, Berliners are striving to make a swift return. However, their current eighth position in the league, trailing the desired top three by 7 points, suggests the challenge. In the last round, Hertha convincingly defeated Elfsvorg at home with a scoreline of 5-1. The team is currently on a streak of five matches without defeat, comprising two victories and three draws. The German Cup holds significance for Hertha, especially when promotion chances are not high. Five players will be unavailable for this encounter.

Hamburg aims for a return to the top tier
The "Dinosaurs" currently occupy the third position in the second Bundesliga, trailing the top spot by just 3 points. In the last round, Hamburg found themselves 0-2 down away to St. Pauli at halftime but orchestrated a comeback, finishing the match 2-2. Considering their league position, the primary focus remains on the championship, as the likelihood of winning the cup is deemed lower. Even reaching the quarterfinals would be a considerable achievement.
