Hertha Berlin vs Elversberg Prediction
Hertha Berlin vs Elversberg Prediction and Betting Tips for Matchday 4 of the 2. Bundesliga, set for Friday, August 29. The game kicks off at the Olympiastadion, with both sides chasing different kinds of momentum. In this article, you’ll discover 2. Bundesliga Predictions from XpertStats tipsters.
- Hertha have failed to win in their last five league matches across seasons
- Elversberg have collected more points than any 2. Bundesliga team in 2025
- The last four meetings between these sides produced 21 goals in total
- Hertha are struggling in attack with just one goal in their last three league games
Hertha Berlin’s current form makes for grim reading. Winless in their last five league matches and with only one point from the opening three rounds, Stefan Leitl’s side are already under pressure. Their defensive record is actually respectable, conceding just twice so far, but the real issue lies at the other end. Three straight 0-0 results tell the story of a side that simply can’t find the back of the net. Fabian Reese, who’s fired off nine shots without scoring this season, epitomizes Hertha’s attacking woes. Can the “Old Lady” really turn it around here?
Elversberg, on the other hand, are quietly thriving. No team in the division has picked up more points in 2025, and they’ve begun this campaign with two wins from three. For a club that entered the season with modest expectations, that’s a statement. Their away record is also noteworthy just one defeat in their last nine road matches. That resilience has turned them into one of the league’s most awkward opponents, and they’ll believe they can nick something in Berlin.
The history between these two sides doesn’t exactly comfort Hertha fans either. Elversberg have won three of the four previous encounters, including emphatic 4-1 and 4-0 victories last season. Interestingly, all four meetings produced at least four goals. Still, given Hertha’s blunt attack and Elversberg’s disciplined shape, a repeat of those high-scoring thrillers feels unlikely this time around. A tighter, more cautious affair could be on the cards.
So where does that leave us? Hertha’s injury crisis with nine players sidelined – means any improvement won’t come easy. Elversberg’s steady confidence and proven ability to grind out results put them in a strong position heading into Friday. That said, football has its quirks, and writing off Hertha completely might be premature. A draw feels like the realistic middle ground here, and perhaps the best value on the betting slip. Still, as with many 2. Bundesliga Predictions, this one comes with a pinch of uncertainty.
Backing Elversberg on the double chance feels like the sensible play here. Hertha Berlin haven’t won in their last five league outings, and they’ve looked toothless in attack, with three consecutive 0-0 results telling the story. Injuries have decimated Stefan Leitl’s squad, leaving the Old Lady with limited options in key areas. By contrast, Elversberg have started the season brightly, picking up two wins from three games, and no 2. Bundesliga team has earned more points in 2025 than them. Their away form is especially encouraging, with only one defeat in their last nine league trips. Historically, they’ve also had the upper hand over Hertha, winning three of the last four meetings. Even if this one doesn’t produce the same goal-fest we’ve seen before, Elversberg’s stability and confidence suggest they’re more than capable of leaving Berlin with at least a point. X2 offers both safety and value.
