Preview: Hertha Berlin va. Borussia Dortmund

Sports Mole looks ahead to Saturday's Bundesliga clash between Hertha Berlin and Borussia Dortmund at the bottom of the table.

This Saturday boasts a bottom-of-the-table clash as Borussia Dortmund travel to Hertha Berlin with both sides only out of the bottom three by one point.

Both clubs reside in the Bundesliga table on 14 points, but Jurgen Klopp's side are above Berlin by one space due to goal difference.

This season has been in stark contrast to the 2013-14 campaign for Dortmund when they came second to champions Bayern Munich.

Klopp's side have managed just four wins from 14 matches this season, but they head into this weekend's encounter boosted by the fact that they are unbeaten in their last two games.

They secured a 1-0 win over Hoffenheim in the league before settling for a 1-1 draw with Anderlecht in the Champions League in midweek.

In contrast, Berlin have suffered two defeats in a row, their latest being a 3-2 loss to Borussia Monchengladbach last weekend.

Despite having the home advantage this weekend, Berlin have failed to make the Olympic Stadium a fortress, having had an inconsistent spell in their seven home games so far.

They have lost three, won three and drawn one on home turf, and Dortmund have had success at their ground before as they secured a 4-0 rout over Berlin in May last season.

Last weekend's goalscorer Julian Schieber is expected to lead the attacking threat for the hosts, while Mitchell Langerak is likely to keep his spot in goal for Dortmund.
