Borussia Dortmund v Hertha Berlin Betting Tips [6 June 2020]

Borussia Dortmund will look to maintain their lead in the top-four race of Bundesliga, but up next for them is a tricky home encounter against Hertha Berlin. The hosts are 2nd in the standings with 60 points, while the visitors travel here 9th in the tally with 38 points.

Dortmund thrashed relegation strugglers Paderborn 6-1 in their recent round to bounce back from the 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich. With Dortmund out of contention in the title race, all that remains now is to finish in the top-four slots. Dortmund are ahead of the fifth-placed Bayer Leverkusen by only four points and dropping any further points will be detrimental to their chances. Thankfully, though, their scoring remains sharp and with 80 goals they remain the second-best scoring side of the division. The loss to Munich was Dortmund’s only loss in their last six Bundesliga home games, winning the other five. Dortmund have won 10 of their 14 Bundesliga home games and eight of those have come with a clean sheet.

Hertha start this round just four points behind the top-six and are in the race for an unexpected European slot finish. The visitors have won three of the four league matches since the restart, with all three wins coming with a clean sheet. This sequence extended Hertha’s unbeaten run to six Bundesliga games, winning and drawing three each. Furthermore, Hertha have been in impressive form away from home this season. They have remained unbeaten in their last seven Bundesliga away matches, winning four and drawing three during the process. Hertha’s scoring form has been impressive too, with the visitors scoring 2+ goals in six of their last seven Bundesliga away matches, including the last five.

Borussia Dortmund know very well that their title chances are as good as gone, but their top-four chances are still hanging by a thread. Dropping points will jeopardize Dortmund’s top-four hopes. However, Hertha Berlin have been in inspired form recently and have moved into the top-half after struggling in the bottom-half for some time. Furthermore, they have an outside chance of making it to the top-six, and Hertha should relish their chances on this trip. Regardless, we should see an entertaining encounter full of goals and we are backing it in the goals market.
