Hertha 2-2 Ulm

Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

Shot speed describes the maximum speed in km/h that a ball reaches in a shot on goal. The distance is measured from the location of the shot to the centre of the goal.

Hertha and Ulm head into the break tied 1-1. The Berliners have been the better side so far, but haven't made enough of their possession. Ulm fought their way back into the match and capitalised on one of their very few chances thanks to Telalović's instinctive finish for the equaliser.

Second goal of the season for Telalović

Equaliser for Ulm!
Telalović is in the right place at the right time! Brandt shoots first time after being set up by Higl. His shot is deflected and drops down to the right side of the goal - Telalović alertly pounces on the loose ball and finishes clinically.

Young starting line-ups
The average age of both starting formations is under 25 years: Hertha 24.1 years, Ulm 24.7 (the Sparrows have never started this young in the current season).
Starting lineup debut for Ulrich
Ulm's new signing Laurin Ulrich (who came from VfB Stuttgart) is in the starting eleven for the first time in the Bundesliga 2; in the first 12 matchdays, the 19-year-old only came on as a substitute three times (for a total of 13 minutes).
Dárdai gets another chance
Márton Dárdai returns to Hertha's starting eleven after serving his yellow card suspension; four days ago, he played the full 90 minutes for Hungary in the international match against Germany.
Winkler back in the starting eleven
Marten Winkler is in Hertha's starting line-up for the first time since matchday 6 (2-0 win in Nuremberg). After that, he was not in the squad three times due to problems with his patellar tendon and only made his comeback as a substitute on the last matchday in Darmstadt.

Three changes for Ulm
Spatzen coach Thomas Wörle makes three changes to his starting eleven compared to the last match (0-0 draw in Magdeburg): Allgeier, Ulrich and Telalović start in place of Strompf (suspended due to yellow-red card), Krattenmacher and Rösch.
Berlin with two changes
Hertha manager Cristian Fiel makes two changes to his starting lineup compared to the last match (3-1 defeat in Darmstadt): Márton Dárdai and Marten Winkler start in place of Palkó Dárdai and Jon Dagur Thorsteinsson.
This is how Ulm lines up
Thiede - Allgeier, Gaal, Kolbe - Meier, Maier, Brandt, Ulrich - Telalović, Higl, Keller
Hertha's starting eleven
Ernst - Kenny, Klemens, Dárdai, Zeefuik - Sessa, Cuisance - Winkler, Maza, Scherhant - Niederlechner
Thomas Wörle's view on Hertha
"We haven't lost the last three matches. We haven't allowed any second-division side to beat us. We defend extremely well as an entire team and also benefit enormously in our defending from our attacking players, who are fully committed - it's outstanding. This shows the team spirit that we have and that we live by."
Question marks over Hertha trio
Demme, Gechter and Reese are training again, but are not yet definite options for the hosts. Brooks, Dudziak, Gersbeck, Karbownik and Leistner remain sidelined.
Cristian Fiél on Ulm
"Ulm defend incredibly well and play in a very structured way. They don't give you much space and make it incredibly tight. We need to develop ideas on how to get in front of goal."

Only one victory for Ulm
The Sparrows celebrated their only victory against the capital city club in the DFB Cup: in 1981/82, Ulm won 2-1 in the third round in front of fewer than 2,000 spectators at the Olympic Stadium.
Ulm, Hertha's favourite opponent?
Of the six encounters in league matches in the Bundesliga or Bundesliga 2, the Old Lady has not lost any (four wins, two draws)
Even longer in the Bundesliga 2
The two teams last played together in the Bundesliga 2 back in 1984/85.
A long time coming
Hertha and Ulm are facing each other for the first time since the 1999/00 season, when the Berlin side won both Bundesliga matches 3-0 (goals: Wosz, Sverrisson, Preetz) and 1-0 (Rehmer) respectively.
