They have conceded the first goal in 5 of their 12 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around. there are 2 periods that stand out in the last 6 home matches for all competitions: they have scored 4 of their 9 goals between minutes (76'‑90'); they have suffered 3 of their 6 goals between minutes (16'‑30').

Hertha comes to this match after a 1-3 away win over Hannover, with a hat-trick by Kalou, their main offensive reference. The home team likes to attack through the sides and rarely uses the centre of the field. Therefore, they like to use fast defence-offense transitions.
