- 13' Hertha BSC is showing some good football. However, Hertha BSC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 18' Supporters expect more eagerness from Peter Pekarik, as he is very good at scoring at Volkswagen Arena with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
- 23' It looks like no one’s ball. VfL Wolfsburg is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 28' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 33' It’s high time Pal Dardai made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.

- 60' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Pascal Klemens made 464 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 63' The whistle greets Marvin Plattenhardt as he departs to be replaced by Peter Pekarik.

- 83' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 0 times this season with winning -% of all matches.
- 88' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Yannick Gerhardt suffering a number of foals already.
- Another three points for Hertha BSC.
