Hertha were denied at the death against Bayern Munich in a 1-1 draw on Matchday 21, but coming so close against the champions will surely give them confidence. They were also pegged back in injury time in a 3-3 draw against Eintracht in September, but they beat the Eagles 2-0 in Berlin last year and have eight wins from 10 home matches this season.

Eintracht’s normally-solid defence has been leaky in recent games, with a quarter of the 20 goals they have conceded this season coming in back-to-back defeats against Bayer Leverkusen and Ingolstadt. Only one point ahead of Hertha in fifth, the Eagles will be keen to avoid a third defeat on the spin.
