On Friday night, Hertha Berlin welcomes struggling Fortuna Dusseldorf to the Olympiastadion Berlin, as the team from the German capital look for a third straight Bundesliga victory.
It looked like it was going to be a long season for the club from the German capital after they failed to win in their first four league games, suffering three defeats in the process.
However, Hertha have experienced a change in fortunes of late in the Bundesliga, beating new boys Paderborn 2-1 before recording a comprehensive 4-0 victory at Koln last time out in the German top-flight.

The visitors needed the victories, but their recent Bundesliga record is still not great, as they have won just four of their last 16 league games.
Hertha’s recent home results in the German top-flight have been poor, as they have won just three of their last 12 league outings at the Olympiastadion.
Their recent home games have been high-scoring in the Bundesliga, as seven of their last eight matches have produced over 2.5 goals. A factor in those high-scoring home games is that Hertha have kept just one clean sheet in 12 league outings on home soil.
After a promising opening weekend win at Werder Bremen things have gone downhill for Fortuna Dusseldorf in the Bundesliga. Since the victory, Dusseldorf have failed to win another game, suffering four defeats in the process.
The visitors have also conceded at least twice in all four league defeats this season. Talking of goals, incredibly both teams have scored in Fortuna Dusseldorf’s last 15 Bundesliga matches.
It is fair to say that Fortuna have not been great on their travels of late in the German top-flight, losing four of their last six Bundesliga away games.
Forebet predicts that Hertha will record another victory in a high-scoring clash to add to the visitor’s recent woes.
