Contending squad Hertha Berlin (5-3-2, 17 points) will take on a resurging Borussia Monchengladbach (5-5-0, 15 points) at the Olympic Stadium in the Germany capital this Saturday for a week 11 Bundesliga 2015-2016 season matchup.
Hertha bounced back from a 1-2 loss to Schalke two weeks ago by defeating newly-promoted club Ingolstadt at the Audi Sportpark last Saturday, 1-0, via ESPN.
Winger Mitchell Weiser converted a left-footed shot from the center of the box to score the winner Pál Dárdai's side right at the 10th minute while the rest of the team held on to the early to come away with the much-needed victory.
Die Alte Dame has been up and down in their last six matches with three victories, two losses, and a draw to stay at the fifth spot of the league table.
Meanwhile, Die Borussen scored their fifth consecutive victory after starting the season on a five-game losing skid as they beat Schalke, 3-1, at the Stadion im Borussia-Park last Sunday, as reported by SkySports.
Midfielders Lars Stindl, winger Raffael, and defender Julian Korb scored a goal each at the 32nd, 70th, and 84th-minute marks while Danish defender Andreas Christensen made an own goal at the 44th to put their opponents on the board en route to the decisive win.
Interim manager André Schubert's team is looking good these days and it looks like they will continue their winning run against the mercurial capital city squad.
The predicted result is a tough 2-1 win for Borussia Monchengladbach.
Hertha Berlin starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Jarstein; Weiser, Langkamp, Lustenberger, Plattenhardt; Skjelbred, Darida; Kalou, Baumjohann, Stocker; Haraguchi
Borussia Monchengladbach starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Sommer; Korb, Christensen, Jantschke, Wendt; Traore, Dahoud, Xhaka, Johnson; Stindl, Raffael
