Team News

Hertha Berlin
Fortuna Duesseldorf
  • Linus Gechter is suffering with a minor muscle injury and will miss the visit of Fortuna Düsseldorf, so expect Toni Leistner to deputise at centre-back.
  • No further changes are expected from the home side following an impressive away win against Kaiserslautern, although John Brooks could make the matchday squad for the first time.
  • Daniel Thioune could name defensive midfielder Noah Mbemba in the starting XI for the first time this weekend after Ao Tanaka departed for Championship club Leeds.
  • Shinta Appelkamp and Jamil Siebert are both set to miss out for Fortuna Düsseldorf this weekend.

Prediction

  • Hertha Berlin struggled to contain Kaiserslautern at the back two weeks ago, but Cristian Fiel's men turned in a free-flowing attacking performance as a late Michael Cuisance goal sealed a dramatic 4-3 win at Fritz-Walter-Stadion.
  • The hosts now head into this gameweek five clash with back-to-back wins in their pocket.
  • Danny Schmidt's 59th-minute strike was all that separated Fortuna Düsseldorf and Hannover at the full-time whistle in gameweek four as Daniel Thioune's side claimed another impressive win.
  • Sunday's visitors have picked up 10 points from a possible 12 this season and are the early league leaders, ahead of Karlsruher on goal difference.
