  • 15' Hertha BSC currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 20' Borussia Dortmund seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 25' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 30' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

  • 60' Arne Maier is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Hertha BSC tonight.
  • 65' It looks surprising Borussia Dortmund does not make any changes. Dan-Axel Zagadou has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 70' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 75' Hertha BSC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Borussia Dortmund's shape.
