Watch: Highlights of Hertha's loss at Freiburg on Matchday 18:

Ingolstadt travel to the capital with question-marks over the fitness of influential forward Mathew Leckie. The Australia international suffered severe bruising in the 3-1 win over Hamburger SV on Matchday 18, but was able to take "tentative steps" in training on Thursday. Maik Walpurgis has a viable alternative to Leckie in Lukas Hinterseer, but Moritz Hartmann remains sidelined. Defender Marcel Tisserand, having only returned to training on Thursday following his involvement at the Africa Cup of Nations with DR Congo, may have to settle for a place on the bench.
