Hertha's games also have just over 3 goals in them on average. Osnabrück score almost 2 goals a game and let in more than a goal a game, so they do not keep things quiet. At the Bremer Brücke they have won 4, tied 1 and lost 2, and they get on the scoresheet at home. Hertha sit second with 12 points from four games and have won every league match so far. Those wins include a 4-1 and a 5-3, so this is not a side that shuts games down. They also let in almost 2 goals a game on the road, and Braunschweig put three past them. A home team that scores meets a travelling team that leaks goals. Our read is a 1-2 Hertha win. Three goals is the bare minimum here, so we want this one to open up a bit more than that. Both attacks are good enough to do that. The warning is the head to head. The last two meetings finished 2-1 and 0-0, and Hertha have already won 1-0 at Bochum this season. So a quiet night is possible. We still want the busier game here.
