Joker
I have looked at Pál Dárdai’s record with Hertha compared to Bruno Labbadia and I don’t see much of a difference between both their teams. The points per game, goals scored, goals conceded are all comparable and it might be too much of a task to turn around Hertha so soon for Dárdai. So I expect in form Frankfurt to win this game 3-1 and that will be my joker pick.
