Match against Bielefeld will be real test for Berlin’s team, due to the fact that they had suffered last season against weak teams. On the other hand visitors avoided defeat against Werder in the last round for the seventh time in the last eight years. Once again Marko Pantelic pulled up his team to the victory. He didn’t score at Frankfurtn, but with two assistances, to Raffael and Ebert, he was key man for Hertha’s victory. Obviously, coach Favre has made a perfect signings in the last transfer window and already team has showed good form. Also Favre’s team won first leg in UEFA Cup against Interblok at Ljubljana and they have a great opportunity to qualify in the group stage of competition. The great news for domestic supporters are that goalkeeper Drobny keep clean sheet in that matches even though he replaced first choice in the goal, injured Fridrich. The injury list contains some more names and it is right occasion for newcomer Chermiti to make his debut. He will be another attacking option besides Serbian striker Marko Pantelic, so it could be crucial against teams with defensive tactics at Berlin like Bielefeld will perform. Okoronkwo will miss this math too, due to the Olympics final where he will take a part with Nigeria national team. On the other hand Bielefeld avoided defeat against big favorites in the first round. Key man for Aminia was newcomer Arthur Wichniarek, who managed to score and equalize for the second time in the match. Perfect parties in Arminia shirt have brought him a nickname King Arthur, so last week’s performance is just another reason for that. Coach Frontzeck didn’t keep his satisfaction with the team performance and one point they won. Their main weapon was their team spirit and high leveled motivation on the domestic pitch. Newcomer Katongo made his debut and showed that he brought big boost to the team. I expect that Frotnzeck will continue with his favorite 4-3-3 line up. It means that Katongo will be in team alongside Wichniarek and Halfar in attack. This attacking tactics could bring a lot of to visitors, but in the same time it could be like a suicide. If Hertha use empty space in the middle of the pitch they will produce chances for Pantelic who is in the big form and it could decide the match. I believe that Favre finally complete team as he wants and this season results have to come. Domestic team is closer to the victory and I will bet 8 on Hertha at 1.67 with Bet 365 .

The excellent Andriy Voronin missed a penalty in what was a low key affair in the Olympic Stadium on Tuesday night. The Reds now head back to Melwood after 10 productive days on the continent to continue their preparations for 2008-09. They had to wait 14 minutes for their first effort on goal in the German capital when Voronin, who turned 29 this week, pinged the ball wide to Jermaine Pennant. The winger cut back to Olympic-bound Javier Mascherano but his long-range effort blazed high and wide. Sadly, that was pretty much it from the visitors in a fairly non-descript first half. Up front, Voronin and 17-year-old Daniel Pacheco were starved of the kind of service which has seen them impress in the three pre-season friendlies to date. via Liverpoolfc.tv Hertha Berlin: Drobny, Dardai, Chahed, von Bergen (c), Ebert, Kacar, Stein, Pantelic, Piszczek.
