Capital city team Hertha Berlin (7-5-2, 23 points) is scheduled to play mercurial squad Bayer Leverkusen (6-5-3, 21 points) in a 2015-2016 Bundesliga season game at the Olympic Stadium on December 5th, Saturday.
Hertha dropped a 0-2 decision to current league leaders Bayern Munich last Saturday at the Allianz Arena, as per BBC Sport.
Bavarians Thomas Müller and Kingsley Coman scored one goal apiece in the first half before both sides engaged in a scoreless second, snapping Die Alte Dame's two-game winning run.
Pál Dárdai's men are currently situated at the fifth spot in the league table, tied on points with fourth place team Borussia Monchengladbach but had a lower goal differential.
Meanwhile, Bayer cannot seem to string consecutive wins this season as they settled for a 1-1 draw with contending squad Schalke last Sunday at the BayArena, via SkySports.
Roger Schmidt's side did not score a single goal as Die Königsblauen defender Sascha Riether netted an own goal five minutes before full-time after German-Cameroonian striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting put Schalke in front at the 50th minute with a left-foot shot from the center of the box.
Bayer is currently at the sixth spot in the league table just two points below the Blue-Whites.
The predicted result is a close 2-1 win for Hertha Berlin. Bayer will continue with their inconsistent play and Dárdai's boys will take advantage.
Hertha Berlin starting lineup (5-4-1 formation): Jarstein; Regasel, Langkamp, Lustenberger, Brooks, Plattenhardt; Haraguchi, Skjelbred, Darida, Kalou; Ibisevic
Bayer Leverkusen starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Leno; Donati, Tah, Toprak, Boenisch; Kramer, Kampl; Bellarabi, Mehmedi, Calhanoglu; Hernandez
