Hertha Berlin vs Union Berlin

The Berlin derby takes place tonight in Germany and it sees Union travel across town to meet Hertha, I am betting Hertha here -0.25. My reasoning for the bet is that Union have had a good run of fixtures against teams from the lower half, from their 9 matches they have played it is only Hoffenheim, Gladbach and Frankfurt who could have any realistic expectations of finishing top half and even some of those 3 are borderline to do so. Last week they took on Frankfurt at home and I thought they were a little fortunate to take a point, their first goal was a goalkeeping mistake, the 2nd was a penalty from a rather needless challenge and the 3rd was a late wonder strike to take a point. They play Hertha side who are missing their Colombian striker Cordoba who is but otherwise have a fit squad, i have Hertha as a better side than Union and with the little bit of home advantage they receive i make them a bet here tonight at big odds on the -0.25 line with the odds currently at 2.15.

Hertha Berlin -0.25 min odds 2.09
