Bayer Leverkusen will host Hertha Berlin at the BayArena on Sunday in another round of the German Bundesliga campaign.
The home side have had their struggles this season although they remain hopeful of securing European football at the end of the season. They played out a 2-2 draw against Freiburg in their last Bundesliga game, with Sardar Azmoun scoring a second-half leveler to record his first league goal for the club since April last year.
Leverkusen sit 11th in the league table with 28 points from 22 games. They will be looking to return to winning ways in the league when they play on Sunday.
Hertha have endured a poor campaign but have begun picking up important points of late as they look to avoid an impending relegation battle. They picked up a 2-0 win over Augsburg last time out featuring second-half strikes from Marco Ritcher and Dodi Lukebakio.
The visitors sit 14th in the league table with 20 points from 22 games. They are just four points above last-placed Schalke and will be determined to widen that gap here.
