We're now into five minutes of added time at the end of this game.

No changes at the break as we get back underway for the second half in Dortmund. BVB have scored 37 goals in the second half to just 13 in the first this season...

Most of the first half has been spent in Hertha's half and Jarstein was finally brought into action with Bellingham's shot from close range. Hertha are growing into the game more and more though, and putting the Dortmund defence under some late pressure as well.

We've had six attempts on goal from these two sides (5 for BVB, 1 for Hertha) but neither has been forced to make a save thus far. Dardai will be happy with how his plan is working out.

The ball is rolling in Dortmund for our late game on Saturday this weekend with the hosts getting things underway.

Dortmund are unbeaten in seven home matches in all competitions under Terzic, winning four. Having lost three under Favre - as we mentioned earlier - it's been quite the turnaround under Terzic, especially without their famous home support.

Hertha head coach Pal Dardai has faced Dortmund 11 times as a coach, winning one, drawing three and losing six. He has only suffered more defeats at the hands of Bayern (seven).

Haaland has scored 32 times in 34 Bundesliga appearances. Only Uwe Seeler reached 32 goals faster (33 games).

Sancho isn't due back before the March international break, so Hazard and Brandt play in his stead. Schulz retains his place at left-back in the absence of Guerreiro, while American teenager Reyna is only fit enough for the bench. BVB can climb a place to fifth, if results go their way.

Piatek and Lukebakio scored the goals in the capital last weekend. The former joins Cordoba in the final third, with leading scorer Cunha and Marseille loanee Radonjic still nursing muscular complaints. Arsenal-owned midfielder Guendouzi was a half-time introduction against Augsburg, but he and Ascacibar, as well as Khedira, are not involved.

Jadon Sancho has been in dazzling form in 2021, boosting his numbers to six goals and nine assists in recent weeks. The England international will be absent again today, however, due to a muscle injury. He's likely to be replaced by Julian Brandt, who has made just 13 starts in an extremely competitive Dortmund midfield this term.

Today's visitors have only taken 10 of a possible 36 points on the road this season (W2 D4 L6), scoring just 15 times and conceding 19. Dortmund have earned 20 of a possible 33 points at home (W6 D2 L3) with a goal difference of 25 for and 14 against.

Dortmund tend to enjoy games against Hertha, having won 31 of the 67 Bundesliga meetings to date in a fixture that has averaged over three goals per game. For comparison, Hertha have win 18, with 18 draws. BVB are unbeaten in the last seven league encounters between these teams, winning five and drawing two. Their last home defeat to Hertha was in December 2012.

Edin Terzic's side had been on a four-game winning run in all competitions prior to last week's 4-2 Klassiker defeat to Bayern. Still, BVB showed a good reaction on the Champions League during the week, with Haaland scoring twice in a 2-2 at home to Sevilla that booked their place in the quarter-finals.

The Old Lady have played six matches under new coach Pal Dardai, now in his second spell in the Hertha hotseat. They have lost four of those, although those games were all against the current top four of Bayern, Leipzig, Frankfurt and Wolfsburg. Otherwise, they earned a respectable 1-1 draw in Stuttgart on Matchday 21 and last week's 2-1 triumph over Augsburg was their first victory since Matchday 14.

For Dortmund it's all about keeping pace with the teams around them in European contention. BVB are currently sixth, four points behind Eintracht Frankfurt in fourth, so need to keep picking up wins if they're not to fall too far behind. For Hertha, it's about survival pure and simple. Far too close to the relegation zone for comfort, Augsburg's surprise victory over Gladbach yesterday means Hertha are currently eight points adrift of mid-table security.
