Hertha BSC Berlin vs SV Darmstadt 98 Best odds and tips

Hertha BSC Berlin and SV Darmstadt 98 will both be looking to gain a vital three points on Saturday to help their respective positions in the congested mid-table section of the 2. Bundesliga. Hertha are the favourites at 2.00 to win the game, with Darmstadt available at 3.75, but the visitors should not be underestimated and should be able to make a game of it. Hertha have been in decent form of late, winning three, drawing one and losing one of their last five, but they have only won three of their 13 home games this season, drawing two and losing eight.

Darmstadt have been more impressive away from home this season, winning three, drawing three and losing eight of their 14 away games, but they have conceded 31 goals on the road, while Hertha have scored just 16 in 13 home games. Hertha boss Stefan Leitl has instilled a structured, tactical approach to the game since taking over in February 2025 and his side are the more likely winners of this game because of their discipline and control. Darmstadt boss Florian Kohfeldt has taken a different approach since arriving at the club in September 2024, favouring a more direct, counter-attacking style of play that can be very effective. Isac Lidberg has been Darmstadt’s main man up front with 13 goals in 22 league games this season, while Fabian Reese has been in form for Hertha of late, scoring six goals in his last nine appearances. Derry Scherhant has seven league goals for Hertha this season and is their top scorer, but the difference in styles between these two teams should make for an intriguing game.
