Prediction: Dortmund vs Hertha Berlin

Verdict: Both teams to score yes

Best Odds:

Bookmaker: 

Borussia Dortmund know they must win out their final games of the season to have a slim shot at winning the Bundesliga title. They will try to earn three more points Saturday at home against Hertha Berlin, a team that is yet to lose since the resumption of the league last month. Kick-off for this match has been scheduled at 14:30 GMT.

Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund are coming off a huge win last week, as they earned a massive 6-1 win over Paderborn despite going scoreless at the break. Jadon Sancho was the undisputed star of the game, notching a hat-trick in his first start since the league resumed in mid-May. The Yellow Bees currently sit in second place of the standings with 60 points (W18, D6, L5), but they are seven points adrift Bayern Munich with only five games left in the schedule. At this point, Dortmund’s best bet is to secure a UEFA Champions League berth ahead of the 2020-21 campaign. The hosts sit just four points above the fifth-placed team, Bayer Leverkusen, so they can’t afford to get complacent. Another loss here could seriously complicate their chances of a top-four finish – as unlikely as that sounds. They have the edge of playing at home, though, where they have gone W10, D3, L1 in 2019-20.

Team News

Lucien Favre’s man could be heavily depleted ahead of this contest. Star forward Erling Haaland will be out due to a knee injury, meaning Jadon Sancho will once again play in a more forward role.

Mahmoud Dahoud (knee), Marco Reus (groin), Nico Schulz (muscle) and Dan-Axel Zagadou (knee) are all out as well.
