Hertha BSC is eyeing the promotion places in the 2nd Bundesliga. The Berliners, who are in ninth place with seven points, will host Fortuna Düsseldorf, who have collected ten points so far, in their home Olympic Stadium on Sunday (1:30 p.m./Sky). However, the Rhinelanders have not lost in their previous games and have only conceded one goal. In addition, the Berliners, who had previously won against Jahn Regensburg and 1. FC Kaiserslautern, last managed three wins in a row in the 2019/2020 season.
Against Fortuna, Hertha coach Cristian Fiél will have to do without the long-term injured Fabian Reese and John Anthony Brooks, as well as Andreas Bouchalakis, who took a blow to the knee during the international match with Greece. Kevin Sessa, on the other hand, has returned after a long injury break. Fiél wants to build up the new signing from 1. FC Heidenheim carefully, but he could play. Hertha is expecting almost 50,000 spectators.
