On the 19th of March, Hertha BSC and Hoffenheim will play a match in Berlin in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Bundesliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 6 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. In their last match, 17th placed 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 from the penalty spot, 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. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 5 points in their last 10 matches, while hoffenheim sits at 6th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-1 draw against Bayern München. Christoph Baumgartner scored the first goal for Hoffenheim in the 32nd minute, but Robert Lewandowski got the equalizer for Bayern München in the 3rd minute of the first half’s stoppage time 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.
In their last match together, in Prezero Arena, Hoffenheim was victorious by a score of 2 to 0. Andrej Kramarić struck first for Hoffenheim in the 19th minute, then Sebastian Rudy added another in the 36th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Hertha BSC couldn’t manage to score, and Hoffenheim took the shutout win.
