Hertha vs Wolfsburg Prediction: Bet on the visitors

On January 24, 2023, the German Bundesliga match between Hertha and Wolfsburg will take place at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany.

Hertha had an extremely weak season resumption, losing 1-3 to Bochum. Before the 17th round, Hertha are only 17th in the division, one point behind the saving 15th place. On the other hand, one should be surprised by their place, and by the fact that Sandro Schwarz is not dismissed, because Hertha not only have one of the weakest squads in the division but also have five injured players. It should be noted that Hertha's home record is 14th in the division, +2=4-2, 12-11 goal difference.

But the Wolves were hungry and started the spring part of the season with the "sacrifice" of Freiburg, the team located in the Champions League zone. Wolfsburg's 6-0 victory was hardly expected: a double by Wind, goals from Wimmer, Gerhardt, Baku, and Waldschmidt, a former Freiburg player by the way, and the job done. In the standings, though, the Wolves are still outside the European competition zone, but they have already got very close to the top 6. The Wolves are fifth in the division with three away wins, two draws, and three defeats, a goal difference of 9:10. Before the season's restart, Wolfsburg played several friendly matches in which they beat Hoffe and Augsburg, drew with Brentford and lost to the same Augsburg.

In this pairing, we are on the side of the Wolves. Hertha will be happy if the team stays in the Bundesliga, while Wolfsburg have ambitious goals, at least to play in Europa League, at most to play in the Champions League. And, given the Wolves' recent stats, it wouldn't surprise if the Green and White eventually climbed into the top 4, knocking out Freiburg, for example. If Wolfsburg were playing on the home field, we would bet on a win, but given the away nature of the upcoming game, we will choose a less risky option for the main bet on the combination of the total and the outcome. In general, we offer the following betting options for the upcoming meeting:

• X2 + TO (1.5) - yes for 1.84;
• W2 for 2.38;
• Correct score 1:2 for 9.00.
