On January 23, the match of the 20th round of the German championship will take place. Hertha at home will play against Bayern.
Stadium: Olympiastadion (Berlin).
Hertha: Jovetic, Jarstein, Bjorkan (all – injury). Doubtful: Torunarigha (injury).
Bayern: Goretzka (injury). Davies (heart problems). Choupo-Moting, Sarr (both African Cup of Nations). Doubtful: Stanisic (injury).
In 2022, Hertha has not yet won a single victory. In the national championship, the “old lady” lost to Cologne (1:3) and a draw against Wolfsburg (0:0). Further on, on January 19, the wards of Tayfun Korkut lost at home in favor to Union Berlin (2:3). As a result, the team flew out of the German Cup.
After the defeat from Borussia Mönchengladbach (1:2), Bayern gradually solved their formation problems. The outbreak of coronavirus in the team blew over, and most of their key players returned to duty. January 15, the leaders defeated Cologne on the road with a score of 4:0. The hat-trick was scored by the top scorer of the championship, Robert Lewandowski.
Bayern have won 7 of their last 8 away matches in the league (1 loss). At the same time, Hertha, during the middle of the week, had a tough cup game with an unfavorable final result. Munich, on Sunday, may be fresher. Yet their superiority in the class is beyond doubt.
Hertha’s players have already lost 38 goals in the current German championship (only Greuther Fürth has lost more). And after leaving the “head coach” position of the team, Pal Dardai, the defense of the Berliners did not become securer. Munich’s club stellar line of attack may well take advantage of this.
During the first round, Bayern beat Hertha with a high score (5:0). There is reason to believe that the upcoming match will turn out to be riding.
Choosing to bet on the guests, with a minus handicap, is wise enough. For the superiority of Bayern in the course will affect sooner or later.
