Head-to-head statistics Hertha - Mamelodi Sundowns
Hertha BSC Team Overview
Hertha's last friendly was on , a 3-2 win over Tirol. Here's how the stats looked (Hertha vs Tirol):
- corners: 9 vs 5;
- yellow cards: 3 vs 0.
Hertha started their rebuild after five matches without a win to close out May. And they started well - four wins in pre-season friendlies. But let's not read too much into those results, because the opposition was barely recognizable: Fronauer (15:0), Lichtenberg (9:0), Lokomotiv Leipzig (3:1) and Tyrol (3:2). Yes, they're scoring freely, but the moment the opponent is even slightly better than the bottom rungs of German football, the goals against start coming too.
Match Results: Hertha BSC
Mamelodi Sundowns Team Overview
Mamelodi Sundowns haven't played since late May. That said, the South African side play attacking football even against clubs with genuine top-level credentials. Just in the last year: beat RB Leipzig 3-1 (without several key players on the German side), beat Club World Cup 2025 participant Espérance from Tunisia twice - both 1-0 - and lost a wild one to Borussia Dortmund, 3-4. The point being: big names don't scare them.

⭐️ Editor's Prediction
Hertha score a lot, though they haven't faced anything like the kind of resistance African sides can offer this summer. Mamelodi Sundowns, for their part, aren't afraid to trade goals with well-known European clubs. Four matches into the summer, every single Hertha game has seen at least three goals, which makes total goals over 2.5 the pick here.
