Match preview: Köln vs Hertha Berlin

Köln and Hertha Berlin will meet at the RheinEnergieStadion for a key match in round 28. The last time these teams faced each other in this competition, on 02 November 2024, FC Köln emerged victors with a score of (0-1). Historically, direct encounters at this stadium tend to favour the home side, with Köln winning 2 and drawing 2 of the last 4 matches played here. However, in their most recent encounter at this ground, on 04 December 2024 during the DFB Pokal, FC Köln required extra time to claim a narrow (2-1) win. The scores were split between Florian Niederlechner (30′ own goal) and Dejan Ljubičić (120′) for Köln, and Ibrahim Maza (12′) for Hertha Berlin. The context of home and away performances should be noted, as this fixture pits the 1st against the 13th in the league standings, yet it is also a battle between the 5th best home side and the 6th best away side.

Team analysis: Köln

Currently positioned 1st with 50 points, Köln has recorded 15 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses. They recently secured a (1-2) victory against Paderborn and won (2-1) against Darmstadt 98 in their previous fixture. Notably, they have performed better away from home, racking up 26 points on the road compared to 24 at home. In the championship, Köln has amassed 21 points from 30 available, with 6 wins, 3 draws, and just 1 defeat in the last 10 home matches.

They remain unbeaten in their last 7 home fixtures. The most common halftime score at home has been nil-nil (5 out of 13 matches). While defensive solidity has been a concern, conceding in 7 of their last 10 encounters, their attack has consistently found the net, scoring in 7 of those fixtures. In 27 competitive matches, Köln has conceded the opener 8 times but managed to overturn the deficit on only 2 occasions.

Köln aims to solidify their position atop the 2. Bundesliga table, but competition is fierce, making it vital that they maintain their efficient on-pitch performance. Having achieved three consecutive victories, they are in high spirits as they face another significant challenge this season. The home advantage could serve as a crucial factor in their pursuit of three points against a Hertha side also in good form.

Team analysis: Hertha Berlin

Sitting in 13th place with 32 points, Hertha Berlin has recorded 9 wins, 5 draws, and 13 losses. They recently celebrated a (3-1) victory over Karlsruher SC at home, and prior to that, they triumphed away against Eintracht Braunschweig with an impressive (1-5) scoreline. This side tends to fare better on their travels than at home, garnering 21 away points compared to 11 at their stadium, having scored 16 goals and conceded 21 times at home, against 25 goals scored and 23 conceded away. In their last 10 league fixtures on the road, Hertha Berlin has tallied 4 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses, accumulating 13 points from a possible 30. Their defensive solidity has been a challenge, as they have conceded goals in 9 of their last 10 league games. There is a notable trend of goals when they play away, with 13 of their last 14 matches ending with over 1.5 goals. In 27 matches, they have only managed 2 comebacks after conceding the first goal in 12 instances, with a worrying statistic of allowing 9 of their 23 goals during the 31st to 45th minute mark in their last 14 away matches.

The recent improvement in form can be attributed to commendable efforts by the coaching staff. The team appears to have shifted their approach on the pitch, leading to an uplifting morale among players as they prepare for upcoming fixtures. Following two consecutive victories and a more cohesive style of play, Hertha is well poised to secure a positive result in this match, even playing away against the current leaders of the 2. Bundesliga.
