Leverkusen beat Kaiserslautern last time out, but new manager Sami
Hyypiä still has a lot of work to do. A result against another
struggling team in Berlin would be a huge step towards European
qualification.
Berlin are still second-bottom and desperately need a result to retain
any chance of staying up. Many injuries in defence could cost them
stability, though.
Expect Leverkusen to try to control the game at home. They should be huge favourites to win, despite their current from.
Bayer Leverkusen 2 - 1 Hertha Berlin
