On Mar 19th, Hertha BSC hosts Hoffenheim at Olympiastadion Berlin in a meeting of these two Bundesliga teams.

In their last match, Hertha BSC recorded a 0-2 loss against Borussia M’gladbach. Alassane Pléa scored the first goal for Borussia M’gladbach in the 24th minute on a penalty shot, then Matthias Ginter added another in the 59th minute on a feed from Luca Netz In the end, Hertha BSC was frustrated by Borussia M’gladbach’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Borussia M’gladbach ended the match with the shutout victory. Hertha BSC looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 5 points in their last 10 matches, while hoffenheim is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Bayern München. Christoph Baumgartner struck first for Hoffenheim in the 32nd minute on a feed from David Raum, then Robert Lewandowski got the equalizer for Bayern München in the 3rd minute of the first half’s stoppage time on a feed from Joshua Kimmich squeezing out at least the one point for Bayern München. Hoffenheim should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches.
