Despite sitting just above the relegation spot-on goal difference ahead of the weekend’s game, Hertha Berlin under Sandro Schwartz is a better leader than their former Mainz 05 boss last season. They are a more solid defensive unit.a
However, after a 3-2 away win against RB Leipzig last time out, they drew four in a row before heading into Sunday’s crucial clash with Schalke on a five-match winless run.
Die Alte Dame was three goals behind at half-time, but they looked set for a miraculous comeback when Dodi Lukebakio and Stevan Jovetic scored twice in three minutes shortly after the hour mark.
However, Leipzig insisted that Schwartz’s side watched nervously at the bottom of the table, with their fans fully expecting the club’s end against struggling Schalke on October 24.
We expect a serious battle between the two struggling teams, but we can imagine Hertha Berlin has enough quality to push the boundaries.
The hosts have a tighter defense under Schwartz, and their pace and quality are likely to hurt Schalke, who appears to need major surgery in the January transfer window.
