Game Preview
RB Leipzig will be aiming to move into the top half of the Bundesliga when they host Hertha Berlin in Saturday’s kickoff slot. The visitors, meanwhile, are unbeaten in five matches, although their last four games have all ended as draws. Leipzig had to settle for a share of the spoils themselves against Mainz 05 last weekend, although it was not the worst point in the world given that Christopher Nkunku only leveled the proceedings at the MEWA Arena in the 80th minute.
It was a positive night for the Bulls in the Champions League on Tuesday, with a combination of Antonio Rudiger’s last-gasp equalizer for Real Madrid against Shakhtar Donetsk and Marco Rose’s side recording an impressive 2-0 win away to Celtic moving the Germans up to second place in Group F ahead of their last two fixtures. Timo Werner bagged only his fourth goal since returning from Chelsea in the summer with a fantastic header, before the Germany forward assisted Emil Forsberg to wrap up a crucial victory.
Having only survived relegation via the playoffs last season, Sandro Schwarz has already made Hertha a much more resolute team in his early months in charge of the club. Only rock-bottom Greuther Furth conceded more goals than Hertha’s against column of 71 in 34 matches last season, yet only the top three sides in the division plus seventh-placed Hoffenheim boast a better defensive record than Hertha after nine matches this time around. Clearly, there is still plenty of room for improvement at Hertha, but it is baby steps for a team which has recently been on the brink of returning to the second tier for the first time in almost a decade.
While Schwarz will be keen to see his side gain their second win sooner rather than later, he may be more than content with extending their unbeaten run in Leipzig on Saturday given the disparity in resources and individual ability between the two teams.
