Hertha BSC vs. Bayern Munich
In the Bundesliga, FC Bayern Munich will finally look to regain the lead in the standings this weekend. In the 13th matchday, the record champion has to play Hertha BSC on Saturday and can at least overtake leader Union Berlin overnight. For the Old Lady, the duel with Munich is also about continuing the positive development and collecting further points in the relegation battle. The game kicks off at 15:30 on Saturday and you can find our prediction in the following Hertha vs Bayern tip.
The hosts are still stuck in the bottom of the table despite decent performances. Hertha have taken just eleven points from twelve games and are in 14th place, two points off the relegation zone. Bayern, on the other hand, remain in second place with 25 points and continue to chase Union, who have 26 points to their name. Should the Eisern lose in Leverkusen on Sunday, the FCB will only need one point to lead the table.

Hertha Form & Balance Check
Hertha continue to lack the balance between effort and return. The Berliners have visibly developed under Sandro Schwarz in all respects, providing a boost for the entire club, yet the situation in the table remains precarious. Last season, the Old Lady only avoided relegation in the relegation round, and this season they are once again in the thick of the relegation battle. Despite all their good performances, eleven points from twelve games are worrying, and now the in-form record champions are coming to the Olympiastadion.
No points in Bremen
Hertha will still be looking to build on their previous strong games against top teams like Dortmund, Freiburg and Leipzig, in which the Berliners never lost by more than a goal difference. However, the last two games against Schalke (2:1) and Bremen (0:1) are less optimistic. In both cases, the Berliners showed weaker games. In the home win against Schalke, the old lady could at least rely on her good morale and the necessary luck of the game, which was most recently on Werder’s side in Bremen. Niclas Füllkrug gave the hosts the late victory in a contested game with his demanding header.
Hertha facts & analysis
– 14th in the Bundesliga, 11 points from 12 games.
– Last lost 0:1 against Bremen
– Only 1 win from last 7 matches
Bayern form & balance check
FC Bayern have picked up the pace nicely in recent weeks and are currently dismantling the majority of their opponents. In the ten competitive games since the international break, Bayern have only dropped points in the classic against BVB because Modeste equalised in injury time. Otherwise, they have nine wins and a total of 38 goals in this period, so the offensive has also found its form again after the small low. Last weekend, they proved that impressively in the 6:2 home win against Mainz.
Sixth win in sixth group game
During the week, it was off to the sportingly meaningless last group game of the Champions League against Inter Milan. The Bavarians had already won their group, but wanted to perfect their flawless preliminary round and also increase their incredible record series in the group phase to 34 unbeaten games in a row. And they were to succeed. The FCB won 2-0 at the Allianz Arena, the goals scored by Pavard and Choupo-Moting, who has been in such good form recently. The Cameroonian continues to make excellent use of his opportunity after Lewandowski’s departure and has scored consistently in the last six games.
Bayern facts & analysis
– 2nd place in the Bundesliga, 25 points from 12 games.
– Last win 2:0 against Inter
– 9 wins and 1 draw from last 10 games
Predicted line-up – last updated 3 November 2022
Black is likely to revert from a 4-4-2 to a 4-3-3 due to the threat of a forward shortage. While Jovetic is certainly out, Kanga is also questionable. Selke would be the next best replacement here. On the left wing, Richter could also move in for his work against the ball instead of Ejuke, who is, however, the better counterattacking player against high-standing Bayern. In the centre, Boetius is also an option.
For Bayern, Müller is still out, as is Sarr, but Neuer could return in goal. Sané and Hernandez are also candidates for the squad again, but not yet for the starting eleven. The recently injured de Ligt should also be able to play. Otherwise, as against Inter, Mazraoui would defend on the right and Pavard would move into the middle. Offensively, Coman is an alternative for the wings.
