On Sunday afternoon, Bayern Munich hosts Hertha Berlin at the Allianz Arena in a massive game at both ends of the Bundesliga table.
Bayern Munich form guideThe Bavarians head into this clash on the back of a four-game winless run in all competitions. A 3-1 defeat at Mainz last time out also means that Thomas Tuchel’s team has won just two of their previous five matches in the Bundesliga. The defeat, coupled with Dortmund’s 4-0 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt, saw the home team fall a point behind BVB at the top of the table.
Despite their recent unconvincing recent form, Bayern are unbeaten in 21 home games in the German top flight. A 1-1 home draw against Hoffenheim last time out ended a four-game winning run at the Allianz Arena in the Bundesliga.
Hertha Berlin form guideThe club from the German capital is in major trouble, as they are bottom of the Bundesliga table, five points adrift of 15th place Bochum and three points clear of 16th place Stuttgart, who are in the relegation play-off spot.
Hertha have failed to win in their previous seven Bundesliga, having picked up just two draws and suffered five defeats in the run.
Hertha Berlin has been woeful on their travels in the Bundesliga, as they are winless in their last 11 away games in the German top flight, having suffered nine losses in the run.
