Hertha Berlin are set to play Bayern Munich at the Olympiastadion on Sunday in the Bundesliga.
Hertha Berlin come into this game on the back of a 3-2 loss to Urs Fischer's Union Berlin in the Round of 16 of the DFB-Pokal. Goals from experienced attacker Andreas Voglsammer and centre-back Robin Knoche and an own goal from centre-back Niklas Stark secured the win for Union Berlin.
An own goal from midfielder Rani Khedira and a goal from Germany international Suat Serdar proved to be a mere consolation for Hertha Berlin.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, beat Steffen Baumgart's Koln 4-0 in the Bundesliga. A hat-trick from Polish superstar Robert Lewandowski and a goal from French midfielder Corentin Tolisso ensured victory for Julian Nagelsmann's Bayern Munich.

Hertha Berlin vs Bayern Munich Prediction
Hertha Berlin are currently 13th in the Bundesliga, and have won only two of their last five league games. They are only three points ahead of 16th-placed Arminia Bielefeld, and recent performances and results do not bode well for their future.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, are top of the league, as expected. The Bavarians have once again been at their ruthless best this season, and it has become routine to see them thrash their opponents and Robert Lewandowski produce world-class performances regularly.
Bayern Munich will be the favourites to win.
Prediction: Hertha Berlin 0-3 Bayern Munich
