Key Highlights
Hertha are winless in their last five Bundesliga matches. They have collected just two points out of the available 15 points in this run. They are currently rock bottom in the league, 2 points behind 17th-placed Schalke, and, importantly, three points from safety.
Werder have not fared better over the last five matches. They have lost three times and managed two draws. Werder are relatively safe from the relegation fight, given they are eight points above the drop zone.
