The Dresden Challenge
Hosts Dynamo Dresden enter the match following a 2-2 draw with Eintracht Braunschweig and a 5-3 defeat at Heidenheim. The Saxons have recently displayed attacking potency but also defensive vulnerabilities. For Hertha, it presents an opportunity to solidify their positive progress and climb further up the table. The current standings show how tightly packed the league is.
Expected Lineup
Against Osnabrück, Dardai deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation with Marius Gersbeck in goal. The back four consisted of Jeremy Eitschberger, Linus Gechter, Nicolai Kolbe and Mads Pedersen. Patrick Klemens and Kevin Sessa operated in defensive midfield, with Jón Dagur Þorsteinsson, Oluwaseun Adewumi and Josip Brekalo supporting striker Sivert Grønning. Whether the manager rotates after a short turnaround is not yet clear. The full squad list with all options is available on our club page.
