Hertha BSC will settle scores with Darmstadt at Olympiastadion Berlin on Saturday. Hertha are unbeaten in their last four games, while Darmstadt have lost their last five games on the road. Below, I have the team news, possible starting 11, some interesting facts, expert betting tips, and odds.

Hertha BSC

Hertha recorded a 1-0 win over FC Koln in their last game, with Fabian Reese scoring the only goal. The 27-year-old attacker has now scored six goals in his previous four games. The team now remain unbeaten in their last four games with three wins and a draw. Prior to this run, they had gone seven straight games without a win. Moreover, they remain winless in five of their last six games at home. They sit 12th on the table with 35 points in 28 games, scoring 42 goals and conceding 44. They are just one point ahead of their visitors and have not escaped relegation battle mathematically because they are just eight points about the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Jonjoe Kenny and Mickael Cuisance will miss this game due to accumulated yellow cards, while John Anthony Brooks, Jeremy Dudziak, Bilal Hussein, and Pascal Klemens are ruled out due to injuries.
