Team News
Hertha Berlin
Union Berlin
- Brought in to steady the ship, Bruno Labbadia enjoyed a dream start with a 3-0 win at a canter in Hoffenheim.
- Salomon Kalou has been suspended after filming himself flaunting COVID-19 rules on video.
- Vladimir Darida is available after suspension, but Marius Wolf is struggling with a foot injury.
- Veteran Vedad Ibisevic is battling big money capture Krzyzstof Piatek for a spot in attack, where Matheus Cunha, a recent signing from RB Leipzig, has also impressed of late.
- Ex-Bayern Munich keeper Thomas Kraft has lost his spot in goal to Norway's Rune Jarstein.
- Ex-Celtic defender Dedryck Boyata has shaken off a nagging thigh injury, while Peter Pekarík is over a calf problem.
- Australian international Mathew Leckie is fit following a knee injury, but still has work to do to make the starting XI.
- Urs Fischer missed the defeat to the champions Bayern after a family bereavement.
- The Swiss coach will likely keep faith with the bulk of the capital city side that has eased to relative mid-table security.
- Marvin Friedrich is available after suspension, but Keven Schlotterbeck is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow against the champions. Florian Hübner could slot in.
- Yunus Malli tested positive for the Coronavirus but is nearing a return to the squad, while Sheraldo Becker has a thigh injury and is ruled out for a few weeks.
- Striker Suleiman Abdullahi and Grischa Prömel have recovered from long-term issues to boost the squad.
- Akaki Gogia is still not over knee ligament damage, while Christopher Lenz had to abort training in midweek so has to be a doubt.
Labbadia seems to be the right manager for Hertha, second good game in a row, 6 points and 6:0 goals. Finally something goes well in Berlin .
Piatek played for almost 20 minutes and touched the ball only 3 times of which he lost it once. What a bad purchase of Hertha ...
Stupid, boring football, no goal
@footballover Was hoping you had disappeared for good. What on earth is the point in your comments? You have no clue about anything.
@footballover substitute off Lukebakio
@Quest For whom ? He is the best choice on that position in speed and dribbling.
2-1
Btts and Gentner to score
@alxdru Wow, you have been off in all games since Bundesliga started again ;-)
3-2 Piatek !
@watfordAlbert Piatek is not even in the first team and won't play. Cunha is the much better striker and can actually play football as opposed to Piatek who is only good for the last touch.
tight game 2-1to hertha
1-1
Cunha!
