Nine months ago, Hertha BSC experienced a very bitter moment in Dortmund. The starting position is different, but somehow the same. Of course, Hertha on Sunday (5.30 p.m. / DAZN) in the duel at Borussia Dortmund is not yet about the decision in the relegation battle of the Bundesliga. For the Berliners, however, the game in the Ruhrpott brings back memories of the last matchday of the previous season.
Just like back then, Hertha was just ahead of VfB Stuttgart in the bottom of the table before the start of the match day, like back then, the Swabian opponents are 1. FC Köln and like back then, VfB overtook the capital club with a 3-0 win. This time only on Saturday, one day before the Berlin game in Revier.
