Hertha BSC

The disappointing season for Hertha, the line-up prepared by former Croatian international Ante Covic, ticking off the previous round, 1-2 on Mainz's field, the third consecutive defeat of this season debut.

Thus, after 4 stages, the Berliners occupy the last position of the standings, with only one point, obtained thanks to the draw recorded in the first round, 2-2 away against champions in exercise Bayern Munich, negative goal -7 for "old lady".

The young central midfielder at closing, Arne Maier, is restored after the injury suffered during the European Under-21 Championship and is again available to the 44-year-old Hertha coach.

Padeborn

Returning to the elite of German football after 4 years of absence, Paderborn also has a weak start to the season, managing to accumulate a single point after the first 4 rounds, thanks to the result of the tie broken in the move from Wolfsburg, score 1-1.

In the last stage of the championship, the team coached by Steffen Baumgart lost the shameful match against those from Schalle 04, score 1-5 at home, on "Benteler - Arena", in front of their supporters and still remains in the seventeenth position of the standings, penultimate, equal points with Saturday's opponent, Hertha Berlin.

Although recovered and returned to training, central defender Sebastian Schonlau has minimal chances of being titled on the move from Berlin, Baumgart is likely to keep the central defender couple unchanged, despite the disastrous evolution of the last championship stage.

Prediction for this game is Hertha win @1.64
