VfR Aalen - Hertha BSC Berlin

Normally if you compare the player names from these two teams it should be a clear thing for Hertha. But overall Aalen are not as easy to play and they are very hard to crack as they are huge focused on defensive and go for fast counter attacks. Also they have the lowest ball possession in 2.BL, they do not count on them, the only thing what count is the end result and they showed that they are able to play on such a level. Hertha should take this one serious as Aalen gave some object lesson already last weekend. Braunschweig knows it already.

Aalen played very well in Braunschweig and got deserved a draw and if they did not waste to much they have won it for sure. It is always the same as they are not known as such scoring team but on the other side they become promotion candidate if they win this today. But coach Hasenhüttl does not want to talk about as his focus is to get 40 points as soon as possible for their remaining in 2.BL. Not many changes are expected today as the team did well last week. Of course, Hasenhüttl is known for some spectacular changes and maybe he surprises some today again. Junglas and Leandro should be set on Sixer position as they were praised from Coach. Other positions, we will see :)

Thanks god, thanks god, thanks god for midfielder Ronny who made an excellent game in derby against Union and saved Hertha once again. He shot the corner to the 1-2 through Ramos and what a direct free kick from him to equalize this match. He is in great form at the moment and this guy make the difference at the moment for Hertha. Since 2nd Round, Hertha did not lose a single game ... hopefully they can continue their run. Not available for them is Kluge, because of his 5th yellow card. But some alternatives are there with Kobiashvili, Knoll, Mukhtar or Morales. Next change should be left back wing Bastians had a weak performance in Derby, therefore suspended Holland is back today and should get the place. Also Ben Hatira is an option for Luhukay as he was out longer but back now. For him Allagui move out of the team and sit on bench then.
