Hertha BSC vs Hamburger SV Prediction 19 May 2022

Hertha and Hamburg will meet in the play-off match for the right to play in the Bundesliga in the 2022/23 season.

After triumphs over Augsburg (1:0) and Stuttgart (2:0), Hertha's chances to stay in the elite division have increased markedly. However, the three final rounds were an order of magnitude worse for the Old Lady. It was a 1:1 draw with Arminia, as well as a 1:2 fiasco against Mainz and 1:2 against Borussia Dortmund that sent the Berliners to sixteenth place with 33 points and a goal difference of 37:71.

Hamburger have been playing in the 2. Bundesliga for four years now and can’t manage to return to a higher level. This year the Dinosaurs have such an opportunity. They hit the end of the campaign, having five victories in a row over Karlsruhe (3:0), Regensburg (4:2), Ingolstadt (4:0), Hannover (2:1) and Hansa (3:2).

Both teams are at about the same level of development. In this match, Hertha will go ahead as a host, but Hamburg will not sit back in defense either. Our prediction: we will see the exchange of effective shots.
