RB Leipzig vs Hertha Berlin Team News

Last time out in the Bundesliga, RB Leipzig were presented with the task of seeing off a tricky Mainz 05 side, the former executing a victory with aplomb. Following the disappointing one-all draw to Freiburg two match-days ago, the Red Bulls seem rejuvenated and are firing on all cylinders.
German striker Timo Werner turned cream of the crop for his side on unfamiliar territory, registering three goals to bag all three points. The away side were indeed the better side and were fully deserving of their huge victory.

Dominating proceedings from start to finish, the opposing number Mainz struggled to get going throughout the course of the game. They were left pegged back in their own half by a domineering RB Leipzig side who fired five unanswered goals past their sorry opposition to bring the 05ers down to bare bones.

Hertha Berlin, on the other hand, enjoyed their fair share of success against Union Berlin on the last match-day, posting an impressive 4-0 win on the board. Both sides playing a drab first forty-five devoid of goals, the game seemed to be headed for a goalless draw.

However, the Old Lady turned a new corner after the restart with four goals to their name before the sound of the final whistle. You get the feeling that whatever pep talk head coach Bruno Labbadia had unleashed on his players at the break was worth the treat, as his side took the game by the scruff of the neck in the second period.

For this fixture, head-to-head encounters is very likely to come into play with the home side showing ultimate superiority over Hertha Berlin over the last few years. Julian Nagelsmman’s charges are on an impressive four-game winning run against this foe, scoring a whopping 18 goals in that time. It is also worth noting that RB Leipzig have scored no less than two goals in all of these games.

More so, the home side are likely to be buzzing heading into this game following their comprehensive 5-0 victory over Mainz, looking to keep up with second-placed Dortmund with another win over Hertha Berlin.
