This could be quite the absorbing skirmish at Olympiastadion Berlin in the Bundesliga. Hertha BSC is in 15th place and host Borussia Dortmund in 7th spot. Read about the fixture here!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Hertha BSC form and stats
The first Bundesliga game here at Olympiastadion Berlin resulted in a draw. Last season Hertha BSC's home game statistics were 6 victories, 3 draws and 8 defeats from 17 games.
The club members are hoping that Hertha will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the game against Borussia M'gladbach (placed 1st). Hertha BSC's goalkeeper Christensen was extremely busy against Borussia M'gladbach, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves. Christensen, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 8.14 out of 10 in that game. Christensen saved a penalty.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Eintracht Frankfurt that ended 1-1.Early season league goal statistics from Hertha BSC's 1 home game: 1 goal, 1 conceded.
Borussia Dortmund form and stats
Only one away game in the Bundesliga so far for Borussia Dortmund and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 9 victories, 3 draws and 5 losses from 17 travels.
Borussia Dortmund have a lot to play for after their shock loss (2-3) to Werder Bremen in their previous game, played at home. Before that loss this side had gained at least a draw from nine league fixtures in a row. Leading 2-0 was not enough for Borussia Dortmund in their fight with Werder Bremen last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 2-3 loss. Borussia were so close to getting something from the game against Werder Bremen, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal five minutes into overtime. Guerreiro, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.2. Guerreiro scored one goal, hit one key pass and won 4 of 5 duels.
