With a shortage of personnel in defense, Cristian Fiél returns to his old stomping ground as coach of Hertha BSC. However, the Berlin head coach will not accept any excuses in the away game in the 2nd Bundesliga against 1. FC Nuremberg (1:00 p.m./Sky).
Even after the recent absence of central defender Linus Gechter, as well as Michal Karbownik and Jeremy Dudziak, Hertha is aiming for an away win in Franconia. Toni Leistner or Pascal Klemens can play alongside Marton Dardai in defence for Gechter. The Berliners are keen to remedy their weakness in set pieces from their opponents.
Coach duel with Miroslav Klose
With seven points each, Hertha and the Club are in the middle of the table before the sixth matchday. Only the winner can move up to the top group. Fiél worked in Nuremberg until the summer and then moved to Berlin. His coaching job at FCN was taken over by former world champion and World Cup record goalscorer Miroslav Klose.
