Match preview: Schalke 04 vs Hertha Berlin

Schalke 04 and Hertha Berlin will meet at Veltins-Arena in a match of the first round of Bundesliga 2. Historically, the record of past encounters favours the visiting team, which has achieved 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last 4 meetings. However, the most recent confrontation at this venue, on 5th January 2024, ended in a draw (2-2). Goals in that match came from Tobias Mohr (33’) and Kenan Karaman (24’) for Schalke 04, while Michaël Cuisance (9’) and Smail Prevljak (72’) netted for Hertha Berlin. The home advantage may play a significant role in this match, as Hertha Berlin has displayed notable discrepancies between their home and away performances.

Team analysis: Schalke 04

The home side is kicking off this season after finishing 14th last year. Schalke 04 has demonstrated little reliance on home advantage, recording similar results whether at home or away. In their last 30 matches, they secured 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses on the road, scoring 25 goals and conceding 20, compared to 7 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses at home, with 24 goals scored and 25 conceded. In their latest outing, Schalke 04 triumphed over Rot Weiss Ahlen with a score of 0-3 in a friendly. Over their last 10 home matches, they recorded 5 wins, 1 draw, and 4 losses. Defensive solidity has not been their strong suit, as they conceded in 9 of their last 10 fixtures, yet their attack remains consistent, having found the net in 7 of those matches. Notably, 18 of their last 20 home games have concluded with more than 1.5 goals, while 15 out of 20 saw over 2.5 goals. Out of 15 games, they managed to turn around the score in just 1 instance when conceding the first goal.

Schalke 04 is aware of the need to be more effective in order to have a chance to return to the top tier of German football. Recently, they have been at risk of relegation within Bundesliga 2 and must now establish a more solid strategy to compete for higher honours. Playing at home in front of their supporters during this debut match creates a favourable atmosphere to seek a crucial victory against Hertha Berlin, which could significantly boost their season.

Team analysis: Hertha Berlin

Hertha Berlin enters this competition with their first match after finishing the last season in 11th place. Interestingly, they have performed better away from home compared to their home games, boasting 7 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses in their last 30 away encounters, scoring 25 goals and conceding 22. In contrast, their home record showed 4 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses, with 18 goals scored and 16 conceded. Their latest match was a friendly against Ludwigsfelder FC, which they won 3-0. In the last 10 away games, Hertha Berlin achieved 4 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses. They have generally been able to find the back of the net, scoring in 8 of their last 10 matches. Additionally, 18 out of their last 20 away games wrapped up with more than 1.5 goals. Out of 15 games, they managed to recover the scoreline just once after conceding the first goal.

Last season, Hertha Berlin finished in 11th place with little risk of relegation. Nevertheless, they recognise the need for more consistent performances to compete again for a higher position in the league table. Playing away from home in their season opener, they will face a challenging atmosphere and must perform strongly to avoid a setback against Schalke 04.
