Preview: Borussia Dortmund vs. Hertha Berlin

Borussia Dortmund take on Hertha Berlin at home in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Borussia Dortmund, third in the Bundesliga, take on high-flying Hertha Berlin on Saturday as they look for their first league win in four games.

Dortmund have lost three of their last six games in the Bundesliga and have slipped to third, 12 points behind leaders Bayern Munich, in recent weeks.

Hertha are unbeaten in three, which includes victories in their last two league games, and have won two of their seven away games so far.

For the hosts, Sokratis Papastathopoulos returns from suspension and will likely replace Marian Sarr in the centre of defence. Jurgen Klopp has a number of lingering injury concerns, including Ilkay Gundogan, Mats Hummels and Neven Subotic.

Hertha have long-term concerns over Anis Ben-Hatira and Alexander Baumjohann, while the game will also come too soon for the return of Sebastian Langkamp.
