Derby Weekend

2/9/2013

0 Comments

 
Here we're are and it is the long awaited derby weekend where Hertha BSC will meet Union Berlin at the magnificent Olympiastadion. What kind of English Hertha blog would this be if I didn't say something!

If you just look at the numbers Hertha look strong. Ten points clear of the K'lautern in the playoff spot and only two points behind Braunschweig at the top. The old lady is a huge fifteen points ahead off Union who are back in fourth place and a goal difference five times greater that that of Union at +25.

Both teams however, are on a bit of a high. Hertha are unbeaten in the last 18 and have won he last four matches. Union have been developing well recently and have won four out of the last five games and only narrowly lost the leaders Braunschweig in the last game of the Hinrunde.

Lets hope the injury and suspension worries faced by Hertha do not affect them
too badly (See previous posts). I am both excited by the prospect of the game
and yet worried about some of the players who could/will be missing for us. On
Friday however, BZ have reported that Peter Niemeyer is fit for the match on
Monday which, if correct, is fantastic news!  The scene is set for quite a game
with fierce local rivalries to stoke the atmosphere of a packed Olympiastadion
on Monday.

I arrived back in Berlin on Friday. I meant to go earlier to make I longer weekend if it but fate decided otherwise. But, any trip to Berlin is a good trip to Berlin and this should be a great one! When I arrived I found the final score at Braunschweig to be 1:1 against Aalen. A great result for Hertha as a win on Monday would put us top of the table on GD. But, and that is a very big but, there is 90 minutes of football between now and that win. Needless to say there are so many pesky little things like Union goals that might get in the way!

Later on Friday night Kaiserlautern went to town against Dynamo Dresden and romped home with a 3:0 win closing the gap on Hertha, until Monday, to just 7 points. 

Then tension is building, still worried but ever hopeful  - Ha Ho He  HERTHA  BSC!
