The Eagles have taken flight since suffering the uncertainty of a relegation play-off at the end of last season, winning three and losing just one so far this term. The form of Marco Fabian has been inspiring, while attacking midfielder Alexander Meier has been at his best again as Niko Kovac's side have climbed into the top four.

Hertha have the very same record of three wins and a defeat, that loss coming only in midweek at the hands of FC Bayern München and ending a perfect record in their opening three encounters. Coach Pal Dardai will hope that derailment will only be temporary, though, as the Old Lady look to bounce back to winning ways this weekend.
