THE PREDICTION
Whilst neither of these two teams have shown their best form recently in the Bundesliga, form goes out of the window on derby day in Berlin and an emotional encounter is expected between Union and Hertha. Both sides have won four league games so far this season, but Union sit four points clear of Hertha in the table, the latter having conceded 24 league goals already in 2021-22, only rock bottom Greuther Furth has a worse record. It is this defensive fragility within the Hertha backline that could provide Union with an opening in this match and with home advantage also in their favour, consider backing Urs Fischer’s side via the draw no bet market.
