Hertha BSC - Köln betting tips and odds

Köln will give Hertha BSC a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.35 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

The 3.20 away win betting odds indicate that Köln are the underdogs of this matchup. The difference is not huge, though, so both a victory for the visitors and are draw are still on the table.

Hertha kept their hopes of a positive result from the previous Bundesliga clash alive for the full 45 minutes. A draw at halftime was off the table in the second half when a single goal prevented Team from Berlin from earning a point, however (HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY).

Köln didn’t stand much of a chance in their previous Bundesliga bout against Bayer Leverkusen, despite the home-field advantage. They somehow took the lead, but the hard favourites won out in the end, securing a narrow 1:2 victory.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Hertha BSC’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

Looking over the visitors’ record in away games, it seems they don’t do well when they’re out of the comfort of their home field. They’ve recorded a worrying number of conceded goals in their previous 3 away games – more than 5, to be more precise.

Although the 2.35 betting odds for a home win paint Hertha as the clear favourites, last season’s records tell an entirely different story. Köln have multiple decisive victories on record.

There’s an interesting development over at Olympiastadion Berlin. It seems both teams have been struck hard by injuries. On one hand, Márton Dárdai, Stevan Jovetić, Linus Gechter, Kelian Nsona Wa Saka, Jessic Ngankam will not be playing for the hosts. Conversely, Timo Hübers, Dejan Ljubičić, Jonas Hector, Tim Lemperle, Sebastian Andersson, Mark Uth, Dimitris Limnios, Florian Dietz will all be unavailable on the away side. Both teams will have to deal with limited options.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.70 if you use the Betway sportsbook.
