To Win
Hertha Berlin 13/10
Draw 47/20
Union Berlin 21/10
Hertha got back to winning ways last Saturday when winning 3-0 at Hoffenheim, but their opponents were missing their three main strikers.
They have drawn three and lost three of their last six home league appearances and won only once in their last 10 at home, so the 13/10 odds on a home victory look a bit short to me.
Union Berlin were expectedly outclassed by Bayern Munich last Sunday, losing 2-0 at home, but benching their top scorer Sebastien Andersson until the last 15 minutes didn’t make sense, but you can guarantee he will start this derby.
For me, I think Over 2.5 Goals at 9/10 is the Best Way to Go, as Local-Derbies are normally open encounters and my value bet is Hertha Berlin to Score in Both Halves at 24/10.
