Hertha BSC Berlin - Borussia Dortmund

Interesting game ahead above all if you take a look at the results from both teams in the past. Hertha did not well at home and Dortmund is a big disaster away from home so far. Ok, Hertha has not the class from Dortmund but before the season they talked that they have a lot of potential above all with the new signings they want to play in midfield of the table or maybe come closer to the top but nothing like this happen. They are far away from a good season and therefore they have to look forward for better times. Coach Luhukay has to find the right mix now otherwise they come more and more in trouble and this is not what they want.

On the other side Coach Klopp said that they have to fight to get out of the bad situation but if players like Micky can not improve it is hard. Also some missing players like Reus hurt Dortmund in their offensive play. They play good but in the end if they conceded a goal it is all gone from them and they fall back to old times. The team has not the balance and the self confidence right now to overcome their opponents. It is a long way and maybe the right time for their first away win here as with Hertha they have the right opponent with a lot of problems too.
