While almost a third of all Bundesliga clubs are looking for a new coach for the coming season, the coaches of the 28th match day, Hertha BSC and Fortuna Dusseldorf, are firmly in the saddle. Admittedly, in the case of Friedhelm Funkel, that was not always the case. Actually, the contract of the oldest active coach in the highest German league after this season should not be extended, however, the decision makers decided after a thorough second analysis and under the pressure of their own fans, but finally for a new working paper. Stand now, one can only congratulate the Rhinelanders, because about the fact that the 65-year-old has so far got the absolute maximum from the climber, the experts agree.
Football Betting Tips Hertha vs Dusseldorf
On Saturday, the Fortuna will undertake the next attempt to defend the remarkable eleventh place, or in case of success, even to climb past the “Old Lady” on rank ten. Between the Hertha and Dusseldorf bookmakers’ odds imply a rather clear favorite role of the capital club, which, however, is only partially comprehensible. The team of Pal Dardai last conceded three defeats in a row and presented itself especially defensive enormously vulnerable. Ten goals conceded in this period are certainly an indication that in the encounter Hertha vs.. Dusseldorf the tip on over 2.5 goals is not entirely out of thin air and may also offer more value than a bet on the winner of the game.
Hertha – Statistics & Current Form
The term “reaction” is in some ways mostly negatively affected in footballer circles. A requested reaction, be it from players, coaches, board or even the fans, is always a bad performance. An example of this is the situation with the Berlin-based Hertha, who collected a heavy 0: 5 gossip at RB Leipzig last week, thereby surrendering to his own fate and being presented according to all the rules of the art. The Hungarian coach of the capital club, Pal Dardai, then went to court with his team and expected next Saturday afternoon in the home game against Fortuna Dusseldorf an appropriate response, or in other words, the appropriate response. Incidentally, the clear defeat to the DFB Pokal semi-finalists was not the first setback for the blue-white team in the recent past. Previously, there were already hailers in Freiburg (1: 2), at home against Borussia Dortmund (2: 3) and in a friendly against Holstein Kiel (1: 3). Three Bundesliga defeats in a row inevitably lead to a certain uncertainty that will not dissolve on the weekend at the push of a button in the air.
Especially the lack of self-confidence on the defensive becomes noticeable. Alone in the past 270 minutes, the normally strong Norwegian goalkeeper Rune Jarstein had to reach ten times. For comparison: in the previous seven second round matches the “old lady” conceded only seven goals. Hope that the buck can be overturned on Saturday, after all, makes the fact that Davie Selke and Co. may compete against a home crowd. In the Olympic Stadium, the Berliners have currently with five wins, five draws and three lost matches a positive balance. But: From the past six home games came only a single full sense of achievement (2: 1 against FSV Mainz) added. For this reason, we would be at least cautious, between the Hertha and Dusseldorf to make a prediction on the home threesome. Interestingly, the prices are based on the number of goals.
“It’s better to lose 0-5 than 1: 2 in the unlucky one and then we’ll lie in the bag that everything was alright” – Pal Dardai
In four of the past six matches in front of their own fans fell at least three hits. The last home win without conceding is also just under four months back. Since the 1-0 against Eintracht Frankfurt in early December, the BSClern no longer managed to keep the “white vest” on the domestic meadow. Apart from that, the tabular starting position is an argument for many goals, because trapped in the gray midfield of the classification, both clubs have nothing to lose and can provide the fans present instead an open slugfest.
Luckassen, Torunarigha, Darida, Lustenberger and the still locked Ibisevic are not available. There will certainly be changes in the starting eleven against the Leipzig embarrassment. Plattenhardt could move into the team after good training as well as Matthew Leckie. Ultimately, however, it will be enormously important for the young Berliners to show a completely different attitude and to reciprocate for the discouraged performance in the fair city.
Expected formation of Hertha:
↪ Jarstein – Lazaro, Stark, Rekik, Plattenhardt – Maier, Grujic – Leckie, Duda, Kalou – Selke

Dusseldorf – Statistics & Current Form
Fortuna Dusseldorf remains one of the big surprise teams in the current Bundesliga season. Hardly anyone would have put in the run-up to this season even a penny on the fact that the Rhineland could get rid of all relegation worries early, but exactly this relatively unlikely scenario has occurred. After 27 matchdays, the red-whites have a considerable 34 points on the account and thus a comfortable cushion of 14 points on the relegation place in the direction of the second division. With still remaining seven games, the relegation should be quasi-established. However, anyone who believes that Friedhelm Funkel and his protected will rest on this laureate should be taught otherwise by looking at the latest results. Three of the last five matches in the Beletage were able to make the Düsseldorf victorious. That the opponents including Schalke 04 (4: 0) and Borussia Mönchengladbach (3: 1), have a much higher budget and were also deservedly defeated, enhances the success in addition.
In general, the balance in 2019 can be seen very well. With five wins, a draw and four defeats, the Flingeraner occupy eighth place in the back round table. Taking even the past 13 games as a reference, there are only four Bundesliga clubs, which collected more points than the climber from the North Rhine-Westphalian state capital (25).
“We are not yet final secured. But I am firmly convinced that we will play in the Bundesliga again next season. ” – Friedhelm Funkel
The fact that the Funkel-Elf gets their points primarily thanks to a stable defensive is also a typical fallacy. In eight of the ten matches after the turn of the year, the Over 2.5 was broken in encounters with the Düsseldorf side. In the recent four games fell on average more than four goals. In this respect, there is also the statistical basis given to recognize the value in the odds on at least three hits between Hertha and Dusseldorf. That the Rhinelander in foreign countries with 29 goals (last 2: 5 in Wolfsburg) provide one of the most vulnerable defenses, should also play no unimportant role in the considerations.
Jaroslav Drobny, Diego Contento, Jean Zimmer and Markus Suttner are unavailable due to injury. However, these failures do not change the relaxed and relaxed attitude of Friedhelm Funkel, which could have a positive as well as a negative impact on the performance of his men on Saturday afternoon at the Olympic Stadium. Top scorer Lukebakio pushes back after suspended lock in the starting lineup. Marcel Sobottka is another alternative for midfield. The use of Kaan Ayhan is still questionable.
Expected formation of Dusseldorf:
↪ Zimmermann, M. Kaminski, Gießelmann – Bodzek, Stöger – Lukebakio, O. Fink, Raman – Hennings
Last matches from Dusseldorf:
⚽️ 30.03.2019 – Dusseldorf vs Gladbach 3: 1 (Bundesliga)

Hertha vs Dusseldorf Direct Comparison & Statistics Highlights
The Düsseldorfers will like to remember the first leg of the current season. In front of their home crowd, the Fortunas won 4: 1 after a strong performance. Benito Raman (2), Takashi Usami and Rouwen Hennings scored the goals for the Rhinelander, who profited from the fact that Maximilian Mittelstädt saw the yellow card on 41 minutes. The remaining direct duels are all more than eight years in the past and therefore have no relevance for our Hertha vs Dusseldorf betting tips.
