Hertha Berlin vs Hamburg Prediction and Betting Tips | December 6th 2023 

Hertha Berlin will host Hamburg at the Olympiastadion on Wednesday in the last 16 of the 2023-24 DFB Pokal campaign.

The home side kicked off their cup campaign with a 5-0 demolition of amateur side Carl Zeiss Jena with four different players getting on the scoresheet including the now-departed Marco Ritcher who netted a brace. They then beat Bundesliga outfit Mainz 3-0 in the second round of the competition, ending an eight-game winless run against the 05ers.

Hertha Berlin last appeared at this stage of the competition back in the 2021-22 campaign where they faced Union Berlin before losing 3-2 and will hope they can find better luck this time around.

Hamburg, meanwhile, faced Rot-Weiss Essen in the opening round of the DFB Pokal, picking up a 4-3 extra-time victory after an end-to-end clash at the Stadion Essen. They locked horns with Arminia Bielefeld in round two, playing out a 1-1 draw after 120 minutes before going on to win on penalties.
