Hertha Berlin vs 1. FC Magdeburg: Prediction and odds on the Match on 25 April 2025

Hertha Berlin and FC Magdeburg will lock horns at the Berlin Olympic Stadium on Friday, 25 April 2025. Both sides have been excellent in their recent games, with Hertha Berlin unbeaten in their last six games and Magdeburg unbeaten in six of their last eight games. Below, you will find the team news, possible starting lineup, head-to-head statistics, interesting facts, betting tips, and odds.

Hertha Berlin: form and statistics

Hertha Berlin continued their excellent run with a 3-2 win over Ulm in their last game, despite going 1-0 behind in just 10 minutes into the game. Fabian Reese was instrumental in giving his side the lead with two quick goals, and the attacker has now scored eight goals in his last six games. The Old Lady are unbeaten in their previous six games, but have seen just one win in their last seven games at home. They sit 11th on the table with 39 points in 30 games, having scored 46 goals and conceded 47. With 12 points left to fight for in the season, they are practically out of contention for a promotional spot. They are ten points behind their visitors in the promotional playoff spot and 11 points clear of the relegation battles. Regardless, they have every reason to be happy, as they appear to have escaped relegation.

Hertha Berlin: Lineup

Hertha Berlin will be without some players in this clash. Pascal Klemens is back in training, but his availability for this clash remains in doubt. However, John Anthony Brooks, Jeremy Dudziak, Bilal Hussein, Luca Schuler, and Deyovaisio Zeefuik are out.

1. FC Magdeburg: Form and statistics

Magdeburg bounced back to winning ways with a 3-0 win over Redensburg in their last game to extend their unbeaten run to four in their previous five games. They have performed poorly on the road recently, going five games without a win. Prior to this run, they won six straight games on the road. They sit third on the table with 49 points in 30 games, scoring 58 goals and conceding 42. The Club will still play Munster, Paderborn, and Dusseldorf in their remaining games of the season. So, they need to win all their games to at least keep their place in the running for promotion.

1. FC Magdeburg: Lineup

Christian Titz will be without Samuel Loric, Emir Kuhinja, Alexander Holmstrom, Mohammed El Hankouri, and Herbert Bockhorn in this clash, and he is expected to go with his usual three-man defence line of Jean Hugonet, Marcus Mathisen, and Tobias Müller. Livan Burcu, Martijn Kaars, and Baris Atik are expected to do the attacking jobs.

Hertha Berlin vs 1. FC Magdeburg match prediction 25 April 2025

Both sides have been on an impressive run heading into this clash, and I doubt anything can separate them. Although the visitors sit third on the table in the fight for playoff finish, but the hosts haven’t lost any of their last six games. However, while I think this game will end in a draw, I also expect it to be a high-scoring game, following the head-to-head trend between the two sides.
