Hertha won the corresponding game the year before, but a loss in Dortmund on the final day forced them into a play-off for relegation with Hamburg. The Old Lady are back in familiar territory, 16th in the standings, after losing their first three games of 2022/23. They prevailed 2-1 on aggregate to maintain their top-flight position for another year.

At the center of the defense, Marton Dardai is anticipated to take the place of the suspended Filip Uremovic, and Marvin Plattenhardt is anticipated to make his comeback from injury at left-back after missing the 1-1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt and the 1-0 loss to Borussia Mönchengladbach last weekend. It’s likely that one of the substitutes will be former Dortmund midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng, who has played 61 minutes of Bundesliga action so far in his final season.

On Matchday 3, Dortmund seemed poised to continue their unbeaten start to the new season but Edin Terzic suffered his first Bundesliga loss at the hands of Werder Bremen, who scored three goals in the closing six minutes. A three-man defense is a possibility in the German capital as a result of Niklas Süle’s return as a replacement against Bremen in the second half.

After Mo Dahoud suffered a dislocated shoulder, Salih zcan or Emre Can could replace the ever-present Bellingham in midfield, and Karim Adeyemi is expected to make a comeback. The 1-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen on the opening weekend left the Germany international forward with a bruised toe, but he has since recovered. There are several trustworthy options to Terzic, like Youssoufa Moukoko, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, Julian Brandt, Thorgan Hazard, Gio Reyna, and the BVB matchwinners versus Freiburg on Matchday 2.

Match Stats

After having a cancerous testicular tumor surgically removed, Marco Richter might make a comeback. He scored his final Bundesliga goals in a 3-2 victory against Dortmund in December 2021.

In their last 10 Bundesliga home games against BVB, Hertha has won three, tied two, and lost five.

As of Matchday 4, The Old Lady is one of the eight clubs still without a league victory.

Although Anthony Modeste has yet to score a goal for Dortmund, he has assisted on seven goals and produced one goal in 10 Bundesliga appearances against Hertha.

Moukoko made his Bundesliga debut against them, making him the league’s youngest player ever. He has two goals against the capital club out of his six in the Premier League.

Can will play in Berlin and make his 100th Bundesliga appearance.

Possible Lineups

Hertha: Christensen – Kenny, Dardai, Kempf, Plattenhardt (c) – Tousart, Sunjic, Serdar – Lukebakio, Kanga, Ejuke

Doubtful: Gechter (flu), Maolida (muscular), Scherhant (muscular)

Coach: Sandro Schwarz

Dortmund: Kobel – Süle, Hummels, Schlotterbeck – Wolf, Bellingham, Özcan, Guerreiro – Adeyemi, Modeste, Reus (c)

Coach: Edin Terzic

Analytics:

With a potential formation adjustment that would likely benefit their group of players, we anticipate Dortmund to bounce back with a victory on Saturday.

They should have had a better balance and too much overall strength against a faltering Hertha team, but their defense was too vulnerable against Bremen despite having a two-goal advantage.
