Game: HERTHA BERLIN vs LEVERKUSEN
Type: BUNDESLIGA
Date: 14 March, 2009
PREVIEW
Is Hertha Berlin the real deal? This must be the question that lingers as the season heads toward the final stretch. Since their exit to Olympiakos in the UEFA Cup, Hertha have proved their resilience by notching a total of 13pts in their last 6 league matches to stay ahead of the chasing pack by four points - scoring a total of 11 goals in the process. Despite this, Hertha's defense were also exposed as they have conceded at least a goal in each match during that stretch.
Leverkusen will pose a threat to Hertha's ability to maintain the lead on top. The visitors boast the best away record in the Bundesliga, with an impressive scoring average of 2.00 goals per match. This stats will surely provide a stern test to Hertha's back four.
