It's still early in the Bundesliga season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Hertha BSC - Wolfsburg preview!
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Hertha BSC form and stats
Hertha BSC are yet to win a home game, having collected 0 points from their first two Bundesliga games here at Olympiastadion Berlin. It's trouble wherever Hertha BSC are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Hertha, their manager B. Labbadia and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

Hertha's goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow was extremely busy against RB Leipzig, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves.
