Team News

Hertha Berlin
RBL
  • Niklas Stark should return from a muscle injury to start at centre-back.
  • Fabian Lustenberger challenges Per Skjelbred for a spot in central midfield.
  • Davie Selke and Vedad Ibisevic compete for the right to lead the line.
  • Willi Orban returns from a one-match ban and is expected to replace Ibrahima Konaté at centre-back.
  • Naby Keita is back from a suspension as well, but it remains to be seen if manager Ralph Hasenhüttl will start the Liverpool-bound midfielder in this crucial match.
  • Ademola Lookman could get another chance on the flank after he scored two goals against Wolfsburg last weekend.

Prediction

  • Hertha have nothing to play for, but will want to finish their season with a win in front of their fans. They have only lost one of their least eight Bundesliga matches at the Olympiastadion.
  • Leipzig got back on track with a 4-1 win over Wolfsburg last Saturday after they only picked up one point from their previous four league matches. They still have the chance of qualifying for the Champions League with a win here, but need both of Hoffenheim and Leverkusen to lose their respective matches to secure a top-4 spot.
  • Expect Leipzig to try to put pressure on Hertha from the outset to keep their slim Champions League hopes alive.
