It’s the start of a brand new campaign in the premier club competition in German football as the best of the Bundesliga once again lock horns for a chance to win this year’s title and be crowned champions of the top flight at the end of the season. Of course, most of the German teams competing in this league still lag behind in terms of sheer talent when compared to arguably the most dominant football outfit from this side of the world, that being FC Bayern München – who have been able to win the league championship for the past three years. The first couple of weeks of the Bundesliga means German clubs will start from scratch as each of the football sides in the league look to carve their own path towards the trophy, and the good thing about this is the fact that the defending champions from Munich will also be starting from scratch with them, just like everybody else, and it will be up to this year’s championship hopefuls how they plan to keep pace with Bayern this time, unless they want to see those guys win it all again for the fourth straight time.
One team that should plan to keep Bayern within their crosshairs and have a strong run for the title would have to be Hertha Berlin. Following their dismal showing last season, when they finished the league in a horrible 15th position, the Blue Whites will definitely have a lot of stuff to work on before they can re-establish their status as a football club worthy to call the fabled grounds of the Olympiastadion in the German capital home. Hertha BSC have SV Werder Bremen paying them a visit on August 22 for their first home game of the 2015-16 German Bundesliga title race and if the Blue Whites can somehow beat one of the better teams in the league and get a victory on their own turf in front of their supporters, they can at least give their fans with something to look forward to as they try to mount a solid bid for the trophy.
Hertha Berlin, listed by SBOBET.com with the best football odds of *2.06 to beat Werder Bremen, come into their first fixture at home hoping to showcase how different of a football team they are this season after signing ex-Bayern München wingman Mitchell Weiser, the defending champions’ former 21-year-old prodigy who wasn’t able to see much action on the field with Bayern, with the likes of Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery still performing in top form from the same position on the pitch. Hertha will count on him to have a breakthrough season in Berlin, and if Weiser manages to accomplish such a feat, the Blue Whites will reap all the benefits.
”Mitchell Weiser is a young player with the ability to develop,” Hertha BSC Sporting Director Michael Preetz said in an interview to talk about their latest signing. ”He can play on both wings, in attack or defence. He possesses tremendous speed and suits the profile we want perfectly.”
After a series of failed attempts at the Bundesliga trophy, Hertha Berlin better hope that Weiser will suit the profile that they want because coming up with another lacklustre campaign to follow up on their 15th place finish last season probably won’t sit well with their fans anymore. In all fairness to the Blue Whites, they will come to what would be a big early season match-up in the 2015-16 German Bundesliga campaign, still fresh from the shooting incident of their official team bus and it might be a tad difficult for them to focus on the upcoming fixtures that they have with a distraction like that – though they did manage to beat Augsburg 1-nil to kick off their current title run.
Be that as it may, with or without any of these distractions, Hertha BSC don’t really have much of a choice but to keep their focus and suit up to defend their home turf at the Olympiastadion this August 22 because I don’t think the visiting contingent from Bremen would be too keen on giving them a break once it’s time for them to go toe-to-toe on gameday.
Werder Bremen, listed by SBOBET.com with the best football odds of *3.35 to beat Hertha BSC, head to Berlin hoping to improve on their 10th place finish last season and become a strong contender for the championship as they go for a spot at the upper half of the Bundesliga table with what they are hoping to be a bunch of positive results in the first few games that they have on their schedule. The last time that the River Islanders were crowned kings of the premier flight were 11 years ago back in 2004 and you know how much these guys would want to feel what it’s like to be on top again. A strong showing in their first few fixtures will just be what they need, especially after losing to Schalke 0-3 in their season opener, and I have a feeling that Hertha Berlin will be the perfect prey for them.
