Stevan Jovetic scored for Hertha at debut but the team from Berlin lost against Koln. Wolfsburg comes in the capital city with three points after a bold win vs Bochum. Read our Hertha vs Wolfsburg prediction and betting tips.
Montenegrin striker Stevan Jovetic became just the second player to find the net in five major European leagues next to Romanian Florin Raducioiu after just six minutes when he opened the scoreline at Koln. Hertha looked like a better team at the start but after they conceded the first goal, Koln took control of the match and cruised to a comfortable 3-1 win. Hertha had similar problems last term and one of the key things for them should be to find consistency and keep focus for 90 minutes. The team looks unbalanced once again, the defensive line looks fragile, and attacking players had few opportunities to shine as midfielders were incapable to create many chances.
With the return of the team captain, Belgium defender Dedryck Boyata, Hertha will probably change formation with three at the back. David Selke was a shadow of himself compared to the time in Bremen and he could be at the bench at the start of this match. Brasilian Matheus Cunha is a more reasonable choice to partner Jovetic who should be glad to see a more talented player than Selke in the attack with him. Surely, Hertha must play much better football than last time to earn their first points of the season.
Hertha: Schwolow - Boyata (c), Stark, M. Dardai - Zeefuik, Tousart, Ascacibar, Plattenhardt - Serdar - Cunha, Jovetic
Out: Jarstein (match fitness), Piatek (ankle)
Doubtful: -
Coach: Pal Dardai
Wolfsburg had their problems against Bochum but the only goal from Weghorst made a difference. Dutch striker even missed from the spot and Bochum had a fair share of chances even without Robert Tesche who was sent off after only four minutes due to handball on the goal-line for the penalty. If Weghorst can continue to be efficient as in last season, Wolfburg will be very tough to beat. He scored 21 goals in 34 matches and that kind of form is needed for Van Bommel’s team. Wolfsburg also needs someone else to step up, and they will heavily rely on the set-pieces and their provider Max Arnold.
Wolfsburg has a very good roster, almost the same as in the last season so they will have only to adjust to the assignments from the new coach. After closing the deal for Nmecha from Manchester City they should also change formation as German -
Dutch duo in the attack could get them many goals, needed for a high position in the Bundesliga and good performances in the UEFA Champions League. Nmecha is still unfit but could get some minutes from the bench as he returned to the training in the last few days. Some players are missing through injuries but they are far from the starting lineup so the only big doubt is Croatian winger Josip Brekalo who can add extra quality from the bench.
Wolfsburg: Casteels (c) - Mbabu, Lacroix, Brooks, Roussillon - Schlager, Arnold - Baku, Philipp, Steffen - Weghorst
Out: Bialek (knee), Ginczek (back), Otavio (ankle), Vranckx (calf), William (knee)
Doubtful: Brekalo (knock)
Coach: Mark van Bommel

Very tricky game to predict as Hertha is inconsistent. Wolfsburg looks like a better team, they played better football than hosts in 2021 but on the other side in the game against Bochum they didn’t reach their usual levels. BettingKick’s Hertha vs Wolfsburg prediction is: Both teams to score.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
