Hertha Berlin
Paderborn
- Cristian Fiel is set to opt for a 4-4-2 system when he takes charge of Hertha Berlin for the first time on Saturday afternoon.
- New signings Michael Cuisance and Diego Demme are both in contention for starts after featuring in the club's final pre-season friendly.
- There will be no Fabian Reese during the opening weeks of the 2024/25 campaign after he picked up a serious ankle injury during a friendly against Cottbus.
- Only five players in Paderborn's expected line-up for Saturday's game were at the club last season with Lukas Kwasniok orchestrating a major squad revolution ahead of the new 2. Bundesliga season.
- While the playing squad has changed significantly, the set-up remains the same: a 3-4-3 with attack-minded wing-backs and three forwards comfortable playing more central roles.
