Could Hertha Berlin's time in the Bundesliga come to an end in 2022–23? Hertha is once again fighting against the drop after several seasons of being on the verge of being demoted, and this season they appear to be headed in that direction.
Hertha will face Borussia Monchengladbach at home on Sunday in 17th place. The Old Lady is two points away from a relegation playoff spot and five points away from safety.
Hertha Berlin is the only team in the last six Bundesliga games with less points than Hoffenheim. The Capital club finished its six games with three points, scoring just four goals and giving up 15 times.
Hertha Berlin has 20 goals this season, which is second-fewest in the Bundesliga. With 35 goals allowed, they have also given up the fifth most goals. The Old Lady is playing like a team headed for relegation, and their drop to the Bundesliga 2 appears quite possible.
Borussia Monchengladbach is a respectable seventh going into the game on Sunday. Gladbach has gone undefeated in back-to-back games, although they are still eight points outside of the spots for European qualification.
The Foals collected seven points from their last six Bundesliga contests. They scored 11 goals, but they also gave up nine. This season, Gladbach's offense has been effective, scoring 34 goals. The Foals have lost 19 games while giving up 29 goals.

Julian Weigl won't be available to Gladbach coach Daniel Farke because of his ban. Midfielders Borges Sanches has a tendon injury and Oscar Fraulo has the illness. Both are anticipated to sit out, reducing Farke's options in the middle of the field.

In addition, Steven Jovetic might not play due to a muscular injury. One of the toughest professions in German football belongs to Schwarz. The most challenging team to coach, outside of Bayern Munich, is Hertha.
Although Hertha may have won this match last year, Gladbach ought to triumph this time. Both teams should score, and there should be more than 2.5 goals, with Gladbach winning 3-1.
