SpVgg Greuther Fürth vs. Hertha BSC
For Hertha, the duel in Fürth is an almost vital match in the Bundesliga. The capital city side have yet to win in the new year and are thus winless in four games in a row. Despite a strong performance against Bochum last Friday, coach Tayfun Korkut’s side were unable to build on their 1-0 lead and conceded a 1-1 equaliser to seal the points. With 23 points, Hertha have just one more than Augsburg, who are in the relegation spot. To free themselves from ever-increasing relegation worries, the Alte Dame must win.
The same applies to Spielvereinigung Greuther Fürth. With only ten points, the promoted team still carries the red lantern of the Bundesliga. The cloverleaf is 12 points behind a non-relegation place. It seems almost impossible that the team of coach Stefan Leitl will not take the direct route to the bottom of the league. After the last four games without a defeat, the cloverleaf lost clearly last Sunday with 1:4 in Wolfsburg. Find out who is more likely to win this basement thriller in our Fürth – Hertha betting tip.

Fürth Form & Balance Check
The new hope that awoke in Fürth after the 2-1 home win over Mainz came to an early end in the following match in Wolfsburg. The cloverleaf lost 1:4 without a chance. Once again, the only goal scored by Fürth came from a penalty. This defeat also put an end to the promoted team’s mini-series of successes. Before that, coach Stefan Leitl’s team had won against Mainz and drawn three games in a row. In addition, the gap to the relegation place grew further due to the victory of Augsburg. Fürth are now a full 12 points behind the relegation place. With only ten points, the promoted team is at the bottom of the table.
Relegation inevitable?
With a goal difference of 18:56, it is very likely that Fürth will be relegated. No other team scored fewer goals and conceded more. Although Fürth scored in their last game, they again conceded far too many goals. On average, Fürth conceded 2.7 goals per game. However, it must also be said that Fürth scored five of their own 18 goals in the last three games. Thus, the tendency to score more of their own goals is clearly increasing. However, in view of the eight goals conceded in the last three games, it is highly doubtful whether this will be enough to turn things around.
Fürth facts & analysis
– Fürth are in last place, 12 points behind 16th place.
– The last match the cloverleaf lost with 1:4.
– Fürth won the last home match with 2:1 against Mainz.
Hertha Form & Balance Check
Hertha BSC presented themselves in the last match against VfL Bochum as if they had changed – at least for a half. With courageous and attacking football, the capital club managed to score the deserved opening goal. However, coach Tayfun Korkut’s team could not increase the lead. This took its revenge shortly after the change of ends. A long ball was enough to upset Hertha’s unstable defence. Goalkeeper Schwolow assisted diligently so that Polter could seal the 1-1 equaliser for Bochum and thus the final score. The Alte Dame simply made too many individual mistakes. Thus, BSC has been waiting for a win for four games. Hertha have not yet won this year.
Dutiful victory or crisis?
With 23 points, Hertha are currently in 14th place in the table. However, the relegation place is getting closer as Augsburg start to win. It is only one point to the 16th place. Therefore, the match in Fürth has to be a must-win for Hertha to gain some breathing space in the relegation battle for a short moment. In addition, a possible victory would also be important for the away record. The Berliners have not won away from home in five games. The last time the Berliners played in Fürth was in 2011. In that second-division duel, the Berliners won 2:0.
Hertha facts & analysis
– Hertha are in 14th place in the table with 23 points.
– Since 4 games the Berliners are waiting for a win.
– Away from home, BSC are without a treble for 5 games
Predicted line-up – last update on 10 February 2022
Stefan Leitl has his team fielding in a 4-3-3 system. As this approach is bold, Fürth is once again more prone to conceding goals. In their own possession, the Klebblatt wants to be dangerous via the outer lanes. This approach recently led to success against Mainz.
Tayfun Korkut had to endure severe personnel criticism after the 1:1 against Bochum. Hertha’s coach left Serdar on the bench, who almost alone provides creativity in the Berlin midfield. Richter also had to take a seat on the bench. It is unlikely that Serdar in particular will not start against Fürth. In addition, we once again expect the duo of Jovetic and Belfodil in the attack.
