| PROBABLE LINEUPS |
HERTHA BERLIN  Kraft Morales, Hubnik, Mijatovic, Hubnik Ebert, Niemeyer, Raffael, Bastians Ramos, Lasogga | BORUSSIA DORTMUND  Weidenfeller Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels, Schmelzer Bender, Kehl Kuba, Lewandowski, Grosskreutz Barrios |
Hertha Berlin will have to do without the services of Chrisitian Lell and Maik Franz, who are recuperating from injuries. In addition Fabian Lustenberger will watch from the sidelines, together with former Bayern Munich man Andreas Ottl, who is banned after picking up a red card against Stuttgart in the last round.
Jurgen Klopp will not be able to rely on Julian Koch, Mario Gotze and Shinji Kagawa, who are recovering from knocks. Robert Lewandowski is likely to deputise for the Japanese, while Lucas Barrios is expected to spearhead the attack for the German champions.
| DID YOU KNOW |
Hertha Berlin have lost their last three home games.
- The club, who were promoted this season, have had a player sent off in each of their latest two games.
- Hertha Berlin won the reverse fixture 2-1 earlier this season, with Peter Niemeyer and Raffael netting for the capital side.
- Borussia Dortmund have won all of their matches since the turn of the year.
- BVB are the best visiting team in the Bundesliga so far with six victories, two draws, and two defeats.
- Borussia Dortmund are yet to taste defeat in their last 15 games in the German league.
With Dortmund on a good run, it is hard to overlook Klopp's men as favourites. They have been on fire recently and it would be unlikely to see them drop points in Berlin on Saturday afternoon.
Editor's Prediction
Hertha BSC 0-2 Dortmund
