Borussia Dortmund vs Hertha BSC Prediction: Title Chase is still on

Borussia Dortmund and Hertha BSC go head to head for the 21st time. Borussia Dortmund are on an incredible run of 9 matches unbeaten while Hertha BSC ended up big winners in their 4-1 win against Borussia M'gladbach. Besides this win, Hertha had 4 losses on the bounce. Borussia Dortmund will be desperate to extend their good run to keep the pressure on the top spot, as they are only 3 points away from the top of the table. Hertha BSC are however fighting for their lives and a win would see them move away from the relegation zone.

Borussia Dortmund are among the in-form teams in the league and they are considered title contenders. Borussia Dortmund are on an incredible 9 matches unbeaten streak in all competitions. Their last match ended in a 1-0 against Chelsea in the Champions League knockout stage. Now they return to the league where they have a real shot at the title. 

Stats shows Borussia Dortmund have 9 wins and they had opened scoring in 5/5 matches.

Dortmund sit at 3rd spot with 40 points from 20 matches. They had 13 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses, with a goal ratio of 40:26. And at home, Dortmund had 7 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in 9 matches, that is 22 points in total on home ground. 

Hertha BSC pulled off a miracle last week which has got everyone wondering what they will do next. After a string of 4 losses, they pulled off a 4-1 win against Borussia M'gladbach in their last match. In their last 5 matches, Hertha BSC recorded just 1 win and 4 losses. Stats also show Hertha BSC have not kept a clean sheet in 6 matches and in ⅚ matches, more than 2.5 goals have been scored. Hertha have conceded first in 6/6 matches and lost the first half in ⅚ of their matches. Hertha BSC have also seen less than 4.5 cards shared in 10/10 matches and less than 10.5 corners in 6/6 matches.

Hertha BSC are currently in 16th spot on the table where points are crucial. They've had 4 wins, 5 draws and 11 defeats all season, that is a total of 17 points from 20 matches. And away from home, Hertha have 1 win, 1 draw and 7 losses, that is a total of 4 points in 9 away matches.

Hertha BSC and Borussia Dortmund know each other really well, as they have met a total of 20 times. Borussia Dortmund are miles ahead with 13 wins while Hertha BSC have 3 wins and 4 matches ended in a draw. 

Head to Head stats shows, Hertha BSC have not kept a clean sheet in their last 15 meetings against Borussia Dortmund. Borussia Dortmund opened scoring in 5/7 matches and in 6/6 matches, less than 4.5 cards were shown. In 6/7 matches, less than 10.5 corners were also played.

Despite Hertha's latest triumph, I don't see them recording another win far away from home and against an in-form team such as Dortmund. I think Dortmund are feeling great and confident and they are playing at home. So this should be another win for the Dortmund team.
