Osnabrueck - Hertha Berlin
Osnabrueck host Hertha Berlin at Stadium at the Bremer Brucke
Robin Meissner enters this matchday 5 clash in high spirits after spearheading Osnabrueck to a 3-1 victory over Eintracht Braunschweig on 6 September 2026. The forward is expected to lead the line alongside a stable midfield unit featuring Ismail Badjie and Adrian Beck, aiming to provide the hosts with enough creativity to break down a resilient visiting defense. Following a difficult cup exit against Bayern Munich, Osnabrueck will look to leverage their recent league form, which includes a hard-fought win against Bochum, to secure points at Stadium at the Bremer Brucke.
Hertha Berlin arrive in impressive form, having secured back-to-back league wins against Magdeburg and Eintracht Braunschweig. With Sebastian Groenning and Josip Brekalo expected to spearhead the attack, the visitors possess the firepower to challenge the hosts. Their recent 5-3 win on 28 August 2026 highlights a potent, if occasionally open, tactical setup. As these sides meet for the first time since their 2-1 contest on 19 May 2024, Hertha Berlin will look to maintain their unbeaten momentum in the 2. Bundesliga.
