Hertha BSC vs. FC Augsburg
After the derby defeat, Hertha now have to face Augsburg next in the Bundesliga. Statistically, the Fuggerstädter are a favourite opponent of the Old Lady, but they will hardly be easy to defeat on Saturday. After all, both teams experienced a completely different last matchday. The Alte Dame lost the capital derby 0:2 in Köpenick. Augsburg, on the other hand, surprisingly won 2-1 against FC Bayern.
As a result of these results, both teams are now direct neighbours in the table. Hertha are in 14th place in the table with 13 points before kick-off, still one place higher than the upcoming guests, but Augsburg have only one point less and are greeting us from 15th place. The relegation place is in the immediate vicinity. For both teams, the table situation could hardly be more uncomfortable going into an important match.

Hertha Form & Balance Check
No game idea going forward, hardly any fight and hardly the necessary commitment to win a derby. Hertha BSC deservedly went down 0:2 to their city rivals from Köpenick last Saturday night. After Hertha almost won against Leverkusen on the previous matchday and showed strong compactness, the Alte Dame lacked almost everything it takes to win a Bundesliga match in the Berlin derby. Thus, the capital club has three matches without a win on its record. In addition, the air is once again getting thinner towards the bottom. With 13 points from 12 games, Hertha are only three points away from the relegation zone. While it is a phrase, Hertha must show a reaction against Augsburg.
Old lady, old worries
The fact that Hertha hardly emit any goal threat is probably the biggest problem in coach Pal Dardai’s team. In addition, there has been an old problem in recent weeks. Hertha concede too many goals from standard situations. Against Leverkusen, the Old Lady had to concede the equaliser in injury time, and against Freiburg, the Breisgauer scored the winning goal from a corner. But Hertha can also boast a positive statistic for the upcoming match. BSC have never lost a home match against the Fuggerstädter and have even won 4 of the last 5 encounters against Augsburg.
Hertha facts & analysis
– Slipped into the bottom half of the table again
– Hertha did not win any of the last 3 Bundesliga matches
– Old Lady scored only 1 goal in last 3 matches
Augsburg form & balance check
Not a few people involved would have believed that FC Augsburg would get quite a drubbing from FC Bayern. Because the team of coach Markus Weinzierl could not confirm the victory over Stuttgart and then lost unadorned against VfL Wolfsburg. But first things come differently and secondly than you think. Augsburg actually won 2-1 against Bayern, who had previously been very strong. FCA was compact in defence and counterattacked brilliantly. Cross, header, goal. Football can be that simple. So Augsburg go into the next game with the confidence of a win over Bayern.
Don’t let the victory blind you
Yes, Augsburg deserved to win against the record champions. But the situation in the standings is still uncomfortable for the Fuggerstädter. After all, FCA previously won only one of their last six games in the Bundesliga. Without the win against Bayern, Markus Weinzierl’s team would be in a relegation spot. In addition, they have conceded at least one goal in each of their last five matches.
Augsburg facts & analysis
– Escaped from the relegation zone
– Augsburg score an average of just 0.9 goals per game
– Never been able to win in Berlin
Predicted line-up – last update on 25 November 2021
It will be exciting to see what Pal Dardai has come up with to revive his Hertha’s offensive game. We expect Hertha’s head coach to continue playing in a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 system, but give quick players like Maolida a chance in the starting eleven.
Augsburg have no reason to change anything. Coach Markus Weinzierl defeated Bayern last Friday in a classic 4-4-2 system designed for counterattacking situations. Therefore, we expect the Fuggerstädter in this formation in the capital as well.
