Hertha Berlin host Augsburg at the Olympiastadion on Saturday (February 25) in the Bundesliga.
The hosts have struggled under manager Sandro Schwarz this season, finding themselves in the relegation zone. After their 4-1 win over Borussia Monchengladbach a fortnight ago, the Old Lady lost 4-1 to second-placed Borussia Dortmund in their last outing. Hertha sit 17th in the league table with just 17 points.
Augsburg, meanwhile, have had mixed results in the league since the restart but have picked up points to pull away from the drop zone. They picked up a narrow but well-deserved 1-0 win over Hoffenheim last time out, with Fredrik Jensen coming off the bench to score a late winner from a corner.
The visitors are 13th in the standings with 24 points from 21 games.
