Augsburg-Hertha Berlin is a match on the fifth day of the Bundesliga
Two teams who don’t fare well: the hosts are on three points – a resounding victory at Leverkusen – while the guests have only managed a draw in their first four matches. And if it weren’t for Bochum, still pinned to zero points, they would be last in the standings. Obviously one cannot speak of a last resort for anyone, but a turnaround is needed for both sides, to move up the standings and not to lose ground. But above all from a mental point of view this is a crucial match for both Augsburg and Hertha Berlin.
Well, we have described the situation and it is obviously not optimal for both. And that’s why in the end the fear of losing might prevail rather than the will to win. Obviously, at the beginning, or so it might seem, both will be looking for victory. And then, as the game unravelled, both teams might find their way back to the net. In a nutshell, it looks like a match that could be channelled into a draw.
