Hertha Berlin vs Bayer Leverkusen Preview

Hertha will be hosting a rejuvenated Leverkusen side in this game after the visitors ended their struggle for goals with an emphatic 4-0 win over Freiburg last time out.

Hertha last tasted victory 5 matches ago and they will be looking to get back to winning ways here.

They managed to come from behind to draw 1-1 against Hoffenheim last weekend and their reputation for keeping things tight at the back could help them get a result in this game.

Bayer Leverkusen are beginning to get into Rhythm – their 4-0 win last weekend showed a side that is very brave going forward and if they maintain that momentum in this game, they will surely test the resilient Hertha defence.

For a team that loves to attack, Leverkusen usually expose themselves to waves of attack but if they can put enough pressure on Hertha that could disrupt the Berliners and keep them busy at the back.

Leverkusen have a solid record in this fixture with 4 wins from their last 5 meetings.
