Hertha Berlin Form & Team News


Hertha Berlin have had a relatively inconsistent season but new manager Bruno Labbadia got them off to great start post the pandemic break with a 3-0 win at Hoffenheim.

While it was some time back, many may remember the incredible comeback prior to the break. 3-0 down at the half time break to Fortuna Dusseldorf, Hertha came back to draw the game 3-3 in the second stanza - that was preceeded with a 2-2 draw with Werder Bremen after being 2-0 down.

Centre back Karim Rekik remains injured but the good news is that central midfielder Vladimir Darida is available after serving a suspension last week.

Winger Matthew Leckie will miss out through injury while veteran forward Salomon Kalou has been suspended by the club and will not play for them again.

Union Berlin Form & Team News


Some may call Union Berlin inconsistent but to sit 12th and 12 point clear of relegation with eight matches to play is a pretty impressive feat for their first year in the Bundesliga.

Their form isn't however great coming into this match with only one win in their last four Bundesliga matches. Last week, the first match after the break, Union Berlin went down fighting at home to top of the table Bayern Munich. The 2-0 defeat to the champions shouldn't be a matter of concern but their overall form will be.

It looks likely that manager Urs Fischer will be back on the bench after missing last weeks match against Bayern Munich.

Centre back Marvin Friedrich returns from suspension. Winger Sheraldo Becker is injured alongside attacking midfielders Yunus Malli and Akaki Gogia.
