Hertha Berlin vs Schalke prediction comes before the 20th Bundesliga round matchup. This game will be played on Friday, January 31, at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany. In this match preview, you will find betting tips and correct score predictions based on a thorough analysis of these two teams.
Hertha Berlin vs Schalke 04 Betting Tips
Hertha Berlin are in the 13th place in the Bundesliga, with 22 points, which is just 5 more than Werder Bremen, the closest team from the relegation zone. On Friday evening, Hertha Berlin are playing Schalke 04, a team that’s currently in the 6th place.
This team has 33 points, which is only 1 point less than what Bayer Leverkusen have collected by now. Borussia Dortmund, who are in the 4th place, have 3 points more than Schalke 04. And the table leaders, RB Leipzig, have 7 points more than Schalke 04.
What this all means is that Schalke 04 can improve their table position really soon. Of course, for that to happen, they need to win as many points as possible. They lost in the previous Bundesliga round to Bayern Munich and now need to bounce back.
The trouble is that the defeat to Bayern Munich might have had a seriously bad impact on their self-esteem. It’s because the Bavarian side hammered them 5:0 in that match. Hertha Berlin, on the other hand, are coming into this game after a win over Wolfsburg at Volkswagen Arena.
It was just the other way around in the round before. Hertha Berlin lost 4:0 to Bayern Munich, while Schalke won against Borussia Monchengladbach.
When it comes to their previous meetings, Schalke have been more successful. They beat Hertha Berlin in their duel at the start of the 2019-20 season. The score was 3:0 for the home side. The last time these two played in Berlin, the score was 2:2. It happened almost exactly a year ago. Still, this doesn’t mean Hertha have been amazing at home. This team has won only 10 points in home matches this season.

Hertha Berlin Form and Latest News
Hertha Berlin have won 3 out of their previous 5 Bundesliga games, but this doesn’t mean it’s fair to expect them to go much higher in the table. They just don’t have the player quality necessary to compete for a spot in the upper half of the table.
Schalke 04 Form and Latest News
Despite losing to Bayern Munich, this team has been playing well lately. They’re one of the best teams when defense is concerned and have been pretty decent when it comes to scoring lately.
