Hertha Berlin can’t afford to lose
Coming into this game, Hertha Berlin grabbed four points in their last five matches, something that will not help Die Alte Damen’s plans of surviving in the Bundesliga for another season.
Hungarian Coach pal Dardai has to deal with the league’s third-worst defense at his disposal, as Hertha have conceded 45 goals in 25 matches so far and had clean sheets in only 20% of their matches.
In their last match, Hertha Berlin lost away to Dortmund 2-0. The Berliners were totally outclassed by the BVB. The visitors had only 32% of the ball and no shots on goal.
Bayer Leverkusen to push for a UCL spot
Leverkusen had a very good start to the season which took them to the top of the Bundesliga table. But come late December and the new year, and Bayer have just three wins in thirteen matches which saw them drop back in the standings.
In their last match, Leverkusen lost to 15th placed Arminia Bielefeld at home. That was their second defeat in the last three matches. Bayer have a better form in their away matches as they have won and drawn their last two away matches.
