THE PREDICTION
Hertha are still looking for their first win since Pal Dardai returned as coach, although they did manage to salvage a point at Stuttgart last Saturday. The Old Lady are now winless in seven games in total and are still struggling for goals, hitting the target just three times during that run. That does not bode well for them against RB Leipzig, who boast the league’s best defence. The Red Bulls have enjoyed some big wins on their previous visits to the Olympiastadion, but with Hertha looking a bit more solid defensively under Dardai and Leipzig involved in the Champions League in midweek, the visitors might have to settle for a lower margin of victory this time.
