📰 Team News: Hertha Berlin

Tjark Ernst (Pelvic injury) and Agustín Rogel (Knee surgery) are unavailable for Hertha Berlin boss Pál Dárdai.

It’s our opinion that Hertha will probably kick off with a 4-2-3-1 system this time, handing starts to Marius Gersbeck, Jonjoe Kenny, Linus Gechter, Marton Dardai, Michal Karbownik, Pascal Klemens, Jeremy Dudziak, Marten Winkler, Ibrahim Maza, Fabian Reese and Haris Tabakovic.

Nuremberg boss Cristian Fiél has a number of players out of action. Felix Lohkemper (Achilles tendon problems), Christopher Schindler (Metatarsal fracture), Marcel Wenig (Cruciate ligament tear), James Lawrence (surgery), Florian Hübner (Dental surgery), Daichi Hayashi (Achilles tendon problems) and Jannik Hofmann (Knee problems) will not be playing here.

We believe Nürnberg seem most likely to play in a 4-4-2 system by sending out Carl Klaus, Jan Gyamerah, Finn Jeltsch, Jannes-Kilian Horn, Nathaniel Brown, Benjamin Goller, Jens Castrop, Florian Flick, Lukas Schleimer, Kanji Okunuki and Can Uzun.
