In Round 17 of the Bundesliga, on Saturday, December 22, will be played Bayer Leverkusen – Hertha Berlin. The match will take place on “Bay Arena” starting at 14:30 .
With the “Damocles Sword” overhead, Heiko Herrlich managed to mobilize his team, winning an extremely important victory, 1-2 on Schalke’s field. For “apirine” Dragovic and Alario scored the first half, and although they were definitely dominated in the second part of the game they managed to keep the result to the end. Until now, Lucas Alario has been activated at the end of this year, managing four goals in the last four games in which he has evolved. With this success, Bayer climbed to the 10th position and needs another three points before the competitive break to hope for a qualification in the European Cups. However, on the ground itself, the course is not an enviable one: a draw, three victories and so many defeats.
On the other hand, “Old Lady” once again wastred points on his own ground after drawing with Augsburg, score 2-2. All goals scored in the first half. Ondrej Duda took his lead 31 minutes into the game, scoring for the first time after a two-month drought. However, the Slovak midfielder has become the team’s top scorer with seven goals scored this season. Thus, confronted with round stage stage problems and incapable of showing constancy, Hertha seems to be preparing to miss the European Cup again. In the eight moves he made only to Schalke and Hannover, with the same score of 2-0. The only move that failed to score was Mainz (0-0).
In the last direct confrontation, Hertha scored 2-0, even on “BayArena”. It was the 3rd success in the last 11 straight games. During this time there was no result of equality. In eight of these games the table has undergone at least three changes.
PREDICTION: Bayer Leverkusen to win @ 1.67
