Will the Bulls win against their favourite opponent?
There are more than a few who thought at the end of last season that RB Leipzig could challenge for the title this season. After the departures of coach Julian Nagelsmann and stars Dayot Upamecano and Marcel Sabitzer, the Bullen have made the worst start to a season in their history in the top flight.
After all, Hertha BSC, an opponent against whom they have the best Bundesliga record ever, comes to the Red Bull Arena on Saturday. Against the Berliners, the Saxons celebrated eight victories in the top flight and picked up 25 points. Both are bests.
In addition, RB have scored 104 points more than the old lady from the Spree since they started playing in the Bundesliga. However, the Berliners are ahead of the Leipzigers in the standings for the first time before an eastern duel against the Bullen. Nevertheless, the betting providers are giving a clear prediction on a home win in the match between RB Leipzig and Hertha.
The Bullen, however, have picked up just four points from five games and are in 12th place. Hertha have only just eradicated the false start and have moved past their eastern rivals with six points and are ninth. Perhaps the tendency between RB Leipzig and Hertha may therefore go in the direction of the Berliners gaining points.
Germany RB Leipzig – Statistics & current form
Likely Jesse Marsch would have imagined the task in Leipzig to be a little easier. The tilled field has Julian Nagelsmann with his move to Munich but still somewhat in disarray and so far the new coach has not managed to lead his team on track. A home win against Berlin is urgently needed in order to be able to compete in the Champions League in the coming week.
Tumbling Bulls
The Saxons, however, have only won one of their last six competitive games and have even conceded four defeats in the process. Moreover, no team in the top flight has fallen behind more often. Jesse Marsch’s team conceded 0:1 four times. Perhaps you should check the odds on an early lead for the Berliners between RB Leipzig and Hertha.
Last weekend, the Bullen were guests of the Geißböcken in Cologne. In the end, it was only a 1-1 draw in a racy game, but it was fair. Amadou Haidara equalised the deficit shortly after the break with a quarter of an hour to go. Both teams then had chances to score the winning goal.
In terms of personnel, things could hardly be better for Leipzig at the moment. However, there was bad news about national player Marcel Halstenberg, who will probably be out for a longer time after his ankle injury. Apart from that, Marcelo Saracchi is the only other player missing, which means that Jesse Marsch can almost draw on a full complement of players for the derby.
Predicted line-up of RB Leipzig:
Gulacsi – Klostermann, Orban, Simakan, Angelino – Laimer, Haidara – Nkunku, Forsberg, Szoboszlai – Silva – Coach: Marsch

Germany Hertha – Statistics & current form
Maybe it was necessary to return to the roots. The Berliners have not shelved the grandiose ambitions of a Big City club, but things have quietened down in the capital, which can also be seen in the personnel. Many expensive players have left the club. Pal Dardai is relying more on old Berlin connections.
Rising Hertha Branch
This is the first time since May 2020 that the old lady has managed to win two Bundesliga games in a row again The current humility and modesty that the coach exemplifies to his team seems to be bearing fruit in the meantime. That’s why we think it’s conceivable to make a prediction on a division of points in the match between RB Leipzig and Hertha
After the away win in Bochum, the Berlin fans also got their sense of achievement at the Olympiastadion. However, if you don’t win against Fürth at home, then you have a problem in the Bundesliga anyway. Despite being behind, Hertha still won 2-1 after a goal by Jurgen Ekkelenkamp and an own goal. That doesn’t sound like a relegation battle for Hertha.
The Dutchman may now have earned himself a place in the starting eleven thanks to his wild card goal. However, some regulars will still be missing on Saturday. Dedrick Boyata, Lukas Klünter, Jordan Torunarigha and Stevan Jovetic will all be unavailable. It is possible that the original Hertha player Kevin-Prince Boateng will not make the starting eleven.
Predicted line-up of Hertha:
Schwolow – Gechter, Stark, M. Dardai – Zeefuik, Tousart, Ascacibar, Plattenhardt – Ekkelenkamp, Serdar – Selke – Coach: P. Dardai

RB Leipzig – Hertha Direct comparison / H2H-Balance
Ten times the paths of RasenBallsport Leipzig and Hertha have crossed to date. For the Berliners, these were usually games to forget. Among other things, the capital club conceded a 0:5 or a 2:6 defeat. In total, the direct comparison with 8:1 wins and one draw speaks more than clearly in favour of the Bullen
RB has now been undefeated against the old lady for seven Bundesliga games. Last season, Leipzig took six points against their East German rivals. At the Red Bull Arena, the Bullen first won 2:1. At the Olympiastadion, goals from Marcel Sabitzer, Nordi Mukiele and Willi Orban even resulted in a clear 3:0 victory for RB.
Germany RB Leipzig – Hertha Germany Tipp
The past clearly speaks for the Leipzigers in this match, who have basically almost always dominated Hertha. 8:1 victories in direct comparison speak a supposedly clear language. In addition, the old lady has been waiting for a win against RB for seven games. At the moment, however, the Bullen are struggling to find their feet this season.
Only one win from the last six games, including four defeats, is a record unworthy of a vice-champion.
The Berliners are just enjoying the bud of their fragile upswing with two wins in a row, albeit against the two promoted teams. Nevertheless, Herthan’s chest has swelled and that’s why we’ve decided to play the double chance X2 betting odds between RB Leipzig and Hertha.
