Bundesliga returns this weekend and will see Greuther Furth host Hertha Berlin on Saturday in the 22nd game week of the German top-flight.
Greuther Furth's battle for survival took a hit last weekend as they were beaten 4-1 by a struggling Wolfsburg. Branimir Hrgota leveled the scores at 1-1 for the hosts in the first half before the Wolves scored three more in the second half.
The newly-promoted outfit remain bottom of the league table with just 10 points from 21 games. They will now be looking to return to winning ways when they play on Saturday.
Hertha Berlin are struggling for form at the moment. They played out a 1-1 draw against Bochum in their last game with Ishak Belfodil giving the Berlin outfit the lead before their opponents leveled the scores just after the break.
The Old Lady sit 14th in the league table with just 23 points from 21 games. They are just one point above the relegation playoff spot and will be looking to widen that gap with a win at the weekend.

Greuther Furth vs Hertha Berlin Prediction
Greuther Furth have won just one of their last six league outings and sit at the bottom of the table with the worst attacking and defensive record in the league.
Hertha Berlin are not in much better form than their hosts as they are on a five-game winless run across all competitions. They have failed to win any of their last five league games on the road and that run could continue this weekend.
Prediction: Greuther Furth 1-1 Hertha Berlin
