Hertha Berlin host RB Leipzig on Saturday evening in a potentially crucial match at both ends of the Bundesliga table. Hertha head into the weekend’s action occupying the relegation playoff spot, while Leipzig are two points adrift of the Champions League qualification spots. Having only won one of their last six league games, Hertha appear to be in real jeopardy of falling into Germany’s second tier after struggling to find any real consistency during Sandro Schwarz’s debut campaign at the club.
Scoring goals has certainly not been an issue for Die Alte Dame in recent weeks, with Jessic Ngankam’s late strike away to Freiburg last time out earning his side a crucial point away from home. The 22-year-old’s effort meant that Hertha have now scored in seven successive league fixtures.
However, Schwarz’s side have kept only two clean sheets in their last 21 league outings, with only Werder Bremen and VfL Bochum conceding more goals than them so far this season. That is a record which must be improved if Hertha are to have a solid shot at escaping relegation danger.

Hertha vs RB Leipzig Prediction
The visitors have failed to score in three of their last four games in all competitions, which is a cause for concern. They produced a much-improved performance in the DFB Pokal on Wednesday compared to their 3-0 defeat in the league last Saturday.
Considering their dominance against the hosts in the Bundesliga and Hertha’s inconsistencies this season, we are backing the visitors to eke out a narrow win.
Prediction: Hertha Berlin 1-2 RB Leipzig

Hertha vs RB Leipzig Team News
Hertha appear to have several key players unavailable at present, with Stevan Jovetic, Jean-Paul Boetius, Chidera Ejuke, Kelian Nsona and Rune Jarstein all expected to miss out against Leipzig on Saturday.
Ivan Sunjic was not selected against Freiburg due to personal reasons but the former Birmingham City midfielder may return to the hosts’ matchday squad at the Olympiastadion this weekend, but Suat Serdar’s additional energy may see him preferred in the engine room.
Leipzig, meanwhile, will hope to have Christopher Nkunku available for selection again after his recent thigh issues, but the France forward has been absent from his side’s last two matchday squads and may have to settle for a spot on the bench.
