Borussia Dortmund will host Hertha at their home ground within the 3rd round of the German Cup. Bookmakers reasonably reckon that the future hosts are obvious favorites of the encounter. And there are several reasons to support this version: firstly, Borussia simply have a stronger squad; secondly, the men from Dortmund are a very domestic team; thirdly, Hertha play a lot worse in away games, other than their own Olympiastadion.
In 2017, Borussia Dortmund have had three encounters already, two of which they won and one ended in a 1:1 draw. The points were divided in an away match against Mainz, while the victories were registered over Werder in Bremen and also over Leipzig in Dortmund. Borussia are on the fourth position of Bundesliga tournament table after 19 rounds, having 34 points in the asset. The gap to Leipzig, which is second in peloton, is 8 points.
Hertha’s results are a lot worse, than Borussia’s. The men from Berlin are currently on the sixth position in Bundesliga and losing to Dortmund by only one point, but it is important to note, that the lion’s share, 24 points to be precise, the team from the capital of Germany took at their own stadium. Hertha have got only nine points in away matches: 2 wins, 3 draws and five defeats.
A bet on the future hosts looks reasonable for the upcoming game. The odds on Borussia Dortmund’s victory aren’t big, but they are good enough for a multiple bet. The thing is that Tuchel Knows perfectly, that Borussia will not get the championship this season, unlike the Cup, which can be a real saving for his team.
Prediction for the match: Borussia Dortmund to win.
