Hertha Berlin team overview
Hertha Berlin were touted as strong candidates for the return to Germany's top flight before the season kicked off, but they have so far failed to live up to expectations and will need to rediscover their form quickly if they hope to meet their lofty ambitions.
Following a 2-1 opening day loss to Schalke 04, Hertha Berlin showed some signs of recovery with consecutive goalless stalemates against promotion contenders Darmstadt and Karlsruher, but their limited two-point haul keeps them rooted in the lower reaches of the league.
While Hertha’s backline appears relatively secure, head coach Stefan Leitl faces a growing concern in attack, as his side has managed to find the net only once across the opening trio of league fixtures, the poorest scoring record in the entire 2. Bundesliga.
Unfortunately, Berlin’s Old Lady faces a lengthy injury list, forced to go into Friday’s clash without nine players, including key midfielders Pascal Klemens, Paul Seguin, and Michal Karbownik.

Elversberg team overview
In the meantime, Elversberg continue to ride an extraordinary rise, and the club has no intention of abandoning their biggest dream of one day gracing the Bundesliga, a remarkable ambition given that only a few seasons ago they were competing in Germany’s fourth tier.
Nevertheless, the White-Blacks of Saarland were within touching distance of writing history with a maiden promotion to the Bundesliga last term, but those ambitions were dashed when Heidenheim prevailed 4-3 on aggregate in the decisive promotion-relegation playoff.
Despite that heartbreaking blow, Vincent Wagner’s men have made it clear that they fully intend to be part of the race for a top-three finish this season, having already pocketed six points from the opening nine available in their first three 2. Bundesliga outings.
Unlike Friday’s hosts, Elversberg head to the German capital with nearly a full squad, as their only absentee is summer signing Luca Pfeiffer, who underwent foot surgery and could be out for a while.

Prediction
If the Berlin side continue to replicate their blunt attacking displays, the wait for a first victory could be prolonged, with just a single goal in over 270 minutes of football raising genuine concern in the home camp. Elversberg, by contrast, appear far more assured than Hertha across all areas of the pitch, and with two victories from their opening three outings in the second tier, they head to the German capital buoyed by momentum. A major source of belief for the White-Blacks lies in their superb H2H record with the Old Lady, whom they have swept aside in three straight encounters while striking four times in every clash. Ultimately, playing in front of their home crowd alone won’t be enough to mask Hertha’s early-season struggles, while a motivated Elversberg side has all the tools to seize any opportunities and leave the Olympiastadion with points in hand.
Four Reasons we expect X2 (Double Chance)
- Hertha Berlin are one of the teams yet to taste victory in their first three matches (D2 L1).
- Hertha Berlin are showing offensive concerns, having scored only one goal.
- Elversberg have claimed three wins in the opening quartet of competitive matches this new season.
- Elversberg have not only beaten Hertha in three consecutive encounters but have also scored four goals in each game.
