Having dropped only four points this season, Hertha have put a spark into the battle at the top of the table. With Ibisevic up front and Rune Jarstein in goal, the Capital club have become an effective team under Pal Dardai, a formation only FC Bayern München have been able to beat this season.

Köln will have their sights firmly set on a victory, as the chase to close in on Bundesliga leaders Bayern continues. Having won only once away from home this season, Köln will have to be at their attacking best. However, with Modeste in fine form upfront, do the Billy Goats dare to dream of what could be ahead of them this season?

Victory over Köln would be Hertha’s fourth home win in a row and a record under coach Dardai. Köln are unbeaten in their last nine away games, which is their longest run in 27 years. Hertha’s Ibisevic has faced Köln twice and last season scored all three goals against the Billy Goats (2-0 at home and 1-0 away).
