Hertha vs Preußen prediction and betting tips on December 13, 2024
Game Prediction
On December 13, 2024, the 16th round of the 2. Bundesliga will feature Hertha Berlin facing Preußen Münster. The capital club is again struggling, but they must secure a victory against the newcomer and outsider.
Match Prediction: Hertha vs Preußen
Not long ago, Hertha Berlin was striving for a European spot, spending hundreds of millions on new signings under new investor Windhorst. However, in 2023, the capital team was relegated to the second division and finished only in 9th place. On the other hand, Preußen Münster achieved long-awaited success, making their first appearance in the 2. Bundesliga since 1991.
For the newcomers, the challenge in the second division has been as expected. Under coach Sascha Hildmann, the team didn’t become a total outsider but struggled significantly, with just one point from the first four rounds and an immediate Cup exit. Since mid-October, they have only lost to Köln, regularly earning points, mostly through draws. However, in the last round, they lost 1-2 at home to Magdeburg. In Berlin, Fil transferred during the summer, but his influence has not been sufficient to bring substantial improvement, with the team balancing between wins and losses and languishing in mid-table. In the previous round, they lost to Greuther Fürth, and before that, they were knocked out of the Cup by Köln.
Münster's statistics show a more pragmatic approach. On average, they score about one goal per match but concede fewer goals than Hertha, with a rate of 1.4 goals conceded per game.
Match Facts and Trends:
- Hertha has won only one of their last six matches.
- Preußen Münster has lost two of their last seven matches.
