On Saturday afternoon, Hertha Berlin and Stuttgart clash at the Olympiastadion in a game that could be pivotal in the fight for Bundesliga survival.
Hertha Berlin form guideThe club from the German capital are in major trouble in the Bundesliga, bottom of the table and six points adrift of the safety of 15th place in the table. One of the reasons for the club's current lowly position is an eight-game winless league run, including six defeats.
A 2-0 defeat at Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich last time out in the league means that the Bavarians have now lost four straight Bundesliga games.
Hertha Berlin has a poor recent home record in the Bundesliga, as they are now winless in three away games in the league, having suffered back-to-back home defeats.
Stuttgart form guideDie Roten are currently in 15th place, only outside the relegation play-off spot, courtesy of a superior goal difference to 16th place and a point clear of the automatic relegation zone.
Stuttgart has hit a decent run of league form, as they are unbeaten in the last four Bundesliga games, having recorded two wins and two draws.
Their recent league games in the German top flight have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five matches in the Bundesliga. The visitors have been poor travellers in the league, having won just once in their last 26 away games in the German top flight.
Latest team newsHertha Berlin could be without Kevin Prince Boateng, Marton Dardai, Rune Jarstein, Stevan Jovetic, Kelian Nsona, Marco Richter and Ivan Sunjic.
Meanwhile, Stuttgart has no injuries, but Atakan Karazor will miss out through suspension.
What am I backing?This is a massive game for both teams' survival hopes. I believe this will be a close encounter, so I am backing the draw.
