Bayern Munich will be looking to fend off the chasing pack as they travel to Hertha Berlin for a German Bundesliga fixture on Sunday. Hertha have been out of sorts in recent weeks and should be no match for the reigning champions.
Hertha Berlin have lost their way lately and head into Sunday’s clash with just two wins from their last 10 matches across all competitions. They have been on a steady decline down the table and are now just four points above the relegation zone.
Tayfun Korkut’ men were held to a 0-0 draw by Wolfsburg last time out in the Bundesliga. That was their second straight Bundesliga outing without a win having suffered a 3-1 defeat to Cologne in their previous fixture.
Hertha Berlin have also found things difficult at home, where they have lost their last two matches across all competitions. They were beaten 3-2 by Union Berlin in the DFB Pokal on Wednesday.
It has not been a typically dominant Bundesliga campaign for Bayern Munich as they have dropped unexpected points this season. They still sit top of the table but will need to be weary of fast rising Borussia Dortmund, who are just six points behind in second.
Bayern Munich earned a 4-0 victory over Cologne last time out in the Bundesliga with Robert Lewandowski netting a hat-trick. It was a good way to bounce back from a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach in their previous fixture.
Julian Naglesmann’s men have a fine record on their recent travels, winning their last four away matches. They were also rampant in attack on the road with a 5-0 victory at Stuttgart preceding the win over Cologne.

The bookies have installed Bayern Munich as overwhelming favourites with an away win priced at 5/19 with Vbet. An unlikely victory for Hertha Berlin is valued 23/2 by SBK, who is also offering odds of 31/5 for a draw.
