Meetings between these two teams are usually decided by a narrow margin. Hertha BSC won 1-0 in the most recent meeting in April, and before that they won 2-0 at home, while Dynamo Dresden did manage a 1-0 home win back in 2013, but this time the situation is very different. Dynamo Dresden have not won in the league for three matches, and their defence is a clear problem, especially late in games where they concede often. Hertha BSC, meanwhile, are on a three-match winning run and are unbeaten in five league games, scoring 15 goals and conceding only 6. According to the expected line-up, Sebastian Gronning is likely to play as the lone striker, with Josip Brekalo and Jon Dagur Thorsteinsson creating behind him. If Dynamo Dresden push forward from the start hoping for a breakthrough goal, Hertha BSC are likely to use those moments to counter and control more of the game. The first half may still be close, but in the second half Hertha BSC should control the tempo better and close out the game without losing.
