Start of match
-
PRVWLast time these sides played each other, Leipzig won 4-2. Incredibly, the lowest amount of goals in a match between the sides was 2, back when Rb Leipzig won 2-0 in 2016. In the last 7 games between the two, there have been 32 goals...
-
PRVWIf Leipzig win they will move up to 2nd, above Dortmund on goal difference. Hertha could move up to 8th. I wouldn't put it past Hertha winning tonight, they have already beaten Union Berlin and Hoffenheim since the restart. And, of course, the away team seems to win a lot with no fans...
-
PRVWNo Poulsen for Leipzig tonight, he is of course injured. Schick replaces him. Hertha make no changes for the side that beat Union Berlin 4-0 on Friday.
-
PRVWHertha Berlin XI: Jarstein, Pekarik, Boyata, Torunarigha, Plattenhardt, Skelbred, Grujic, Lukebakio, Darida, Cunha, Ibisevic.
-
PRVWRB Leipzig XI: Gulacsi, Klostermann, Upamecano, Halstenberg, Laimer, Kampl, Sabitzer, Nkunku, Olmo, Werner, Schick.
