Match preview

Hertha BSC visit Energie Cottbus on Sunday afternoon in the 2. Bundesliga.

Form is solid: Hertha BSC have avoided defeat in each of their last five and beat VfL Wolfsburg 2–1 last time out. That is three league wins in a row for them. Nobody has beaten the visitors on the road yet: six away games, five wins and one draw.

Energie Cottbus have 11 points from 11 league games (W2 D5 L4), with 18 scored and 20 let in. They have gone six league games without a win. The hosts tend to be in open games: both sides have scored in eight of their 11.

Our AI prediction is a 2–0 win for Hertha BSC, although it also leans towards both teams scoring. Both sides have scored in eight of Energie Cottbus' 11 league games and seven of Hertha BSC's 11. Exact scores are hard to call, so treat it as the likely shape of the game rather than a certainty.
