They had enough chances to win two or three games, and they made it count in the end tonight. Dortmund coming back from 2-1 down to win 3-2 in the 92nd minute, as well as a Sancho assist and Reus goal to show all the inspiration for a full title race.

Will we see a winner in Berlin?

Don't take your eyes off this - or if you're following our live blog here, don't take your eyes off your screen - because this game is going to have a special ending, that's for sure. Either side could grab the winner and with so much time still to play, we could have more than one goal to come.

Dortmund have started this second half in the perfect way with Zagadou's goal, but chances have fallen for Sancho and Pulisic as well. But Hertha aren't going away quietly, as they've had a cross go across goal teasing the Dortmund defence. It's nail-biting stuff in Berlin!

Two mistakes from Dortmund, both punished by Salomon Kalou. The Ivorian first pounced on Bürki's fumble before he converted from the penalty spot after Julian Weigl had handled the ball in the box, raising his arm to block a cross. Thomas Delaney's strike keeps BVB in the game, but there is a lot of work to do if they want to turn this game around.

Both teams look comfortable with the ball in their own defence, but neither is able to keep it once they take it forward into the opposing half of the pitch. Dardai and Favre both look frustrated on the touchline, with the game still very much opening after half an hour.

Sancho has been on one run down the left wing, ending with a corner which also came to nothing after a poor cross from the Englishman. And in defence, it has not been convincing in these opening minutes. Lucien Favre will be screaming at his side to step up their game from here on in, with Hertha looking realitvely comfortable so far.

And it is Jacob Bruun Larsen leading Dortmund's attack up front, with Sancho, Reus and Pulisic in support.

The Hertha coach turns 43 today, but can he celebrate his big day with a win against Borussia Dortmund? It would be the perfect birthday present...

Five of the last seven goals that Hertha have scored have come from set-pieces, while 41 per cent of the goals Dortmund have conceded this season have come from set-pieces. Will this add up for a set-piece night in the capital?

We will have to wait and see who is leading the Dortmund attack, with Marco Reus, Jacob Bruun Larsen, Christian Pulisic and Jadon Sancho going forward. It could well be that the skipper is leading his young trio of helpers to try and get Dortmund a vital win to return to the top of the table for at least 24 hours.

While Marco Reus and Co. have by far the best points haul at home this season (35; seven more than Gladbach), it has been a different story on the road, where they have just the fifth-best record in the league. They have earned 22 points from 12 games so far (W6 D4 L2), scoring 18 and conceding 10. Furthermore, they have won just once on their travels in 2019 (in Leipzig on Matchday 18), drawing two and losing one since then.

The Old Lady have picked up points more often than not on their own patch this season, earning 20 of their 35 points there so far this term (W5 D5 L2). Their only defeats were against RB Leipzig in early November and against Wolfsburg at the start of February.

Hertha may be down in 10th in the standings, but Dortmund boss Favre is taking nothing for granted against the club he managed between 2007 and 2009. "They're a very awkward team to play against," he said at his press conference on Thursday. "We found that out first hand when we drew 2-2 with them at home. They can play in a number of different formations, they're a dangerous team. They're very compact and get forward very quickly when they win possession. We'll need to put in a top performance and will have to play intelligently."

Dortmund do have the upper hand historically, though. Of the 66 competitive meetings between these sides, BVB have won 30 to Hertha's 18, with 18 draws. Dortmund have scored a whopping 116 goals in that period, conceding 87. 

Dardai was right when he mentioned his side's recent home record against Dortmund, as the Black-and-Yellows have struggled at the Olympiastadion in the Bundesliga of late. They are without a win in their last four league visits (D2, L2); the last time Dortmund took maximum points was on 10 May 2014 when a certain Robert Lewandowski scored a brace in a 4-0 win.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Friday, Hertha coach Pal Dardai gave his thoughts on the game: " We've played well at home to Dortmund recently. We don't want to give them any room to manoeuvre this time either. We need to fight for possession and then make the most of it when we have the ball. We're well prepared and know how significant the game is. The key will be to stay 100 per cent focused and to not make any mistakes. It would be nice for the club to get a good result."

Hertha Berlin forward Davie Selke has shaken off a knock sustained last week and is set to lead the line at the Olympiastadion today. However, head coach Pal Dardai still has a few absentees to contend with: Vladimir Darida, Derrick Luckassen, Julius Kade and Pascal Köpke are all out.

BVB coach Lucien Favre will have to make a couple of changes to his side today. Midfield hardman Axel Witsel is out with an adductor muscle complaint, meaning Julian Weigl should be given a chance to partner Thomas Delaney in central midfield. Mario Götze is also absent (broken rib), and with Paco Alcacer and Maximilian Philipp also sidelined, Marco Reus could play as the team's lone striker today. 

Now that it's neck-and-neck at the top of the Bundesliga standings, any marginal advantage could prove beneficial in the title race. Dortmund have the opportunity to put Bayern Munich under pressure today, as BVB face Hertha Berlin away, while Bayern don't play until tomorrow. Can they go three points clear, even if just for 24 hours?
