UNION MAKE IT A HAT-TRICK!
Union beat Hertha for the third time this season. The visitors were by far the better side and climb back up to seventh. Hertha stay second bottom, ahead of crunch games with Augsburg, Stuttgart and Bielefeld.

MICHEL!
It's all over in Berlin! Michel takes a ball over the top from Baumgartl in his stride, sets himself with his second touch and fires into the bottom corner with his third. Boyata and Kempf caught out at the heart of the Hertha defence - Union are running away with it!

FRESH LEGS
Becker and Awoniyi have worked their socks off in the Union attack, the former registering a goal and assist in a man-of-the-match display. Messrs Voglsammer and Michel are on.

HALF CHANCE
Belfodil wriggles free in the box, but his shot is too close to Ronnow, who gets down well to block.

DEFENSIVE SWITCH
Heintz has only just returned from injury, so it's Ryerson - usually a right-back - on in the centre of defence for the final 18 minutes or so. Over on the left flank, meanwhile, it's like for like as Oczipka replaces the industrious Gießelmann.
66'
CAPTAIN'S EXAMPLE
Not realising he has company in the Union area, Trimmel sends a backwards header straight into the feet of Mittelstädt. The Hertha sub aims low with his cross, but Trimmel throws himself at the ball to block. Superb recovery!
62'
UNION SUB
Haraguchi makes way. The Japan international took his opener really well - what a way to mark his 145th Bundesliga appearance. Schäfer, who's more of a defensive player, will beef up the midfield.

UNION STRIKE BACK!
What a response! Gießelmann's onside as he receives Becker's slide-rule pass. The cross is measured to perfection, and attacked with vigour as Prömel towers above Kempf to restore the visitors' lead.
49'
HERTHA EQUALISE!
The Olympic Stadium erupts as Hertha level! Great vision from Tousart to release Belfodil between Union's left-sided defenders. Ronnow slips as the ball comes in and, with Maolida lurking, Baumgartl's attempt to clear goes in off his face.
46'
DOUBLE CHANGE
Magath rolls the dice at the start of the second half. Marton Dardai replaces debutant Julian Eitschberger, while Maxi Mittelstädt brings natural width to the table at the expense of central midfielder Vladimir Darida. On paper, that's a positive switcheroo.

CHANCES!
Trimmel is inches away from converting Becker's cross. Becker then cuts inside and fires at Lotka. Union good value for their lead...
35'
SHINS IT!
So close to an equaliser as Maolida connects with Tousart's cross. He swings a boot from his position on the penalty spot, but catches it with his right shin and the ball goes wide.
35'
RIGHT IDEA
Ascacibar wins a second ball on the edge of the area, sending a looped header back in the danger zone, but it's too high for Belfodil in the six-yard box.
32'
HARAGUCHI BREAKS THE DEADLOCK!
Lotka's resistance is broken. He thinks about coming for a Becker cross, but hesitates and is caught in no man's land as Haraguchi throws himself at the ball to head home against his former club.

The Hertha striker's rotten luck with injuries continues, moments after he had pinged an inviting cross to the back post for Darida, who couldn't reach it on the stretch. Belfodil is on.

LOTKA AGAIN!
The rookie stopper throws himself at the feet of Awoniyi to deny a certain goal. He's got derby fever!

FIERY!
Pinball in the Hertha box following a Union corner. Gießelmann swipes goalwards, but Lotka gets down well to make another impressive save. He's not happy after being bumped by Prömel, who was following in, and retaliates by knocking the Union midfielder to the ground. He kicked out beforehand - and is lucky to still be on the pitch.

SETTLED
Hertha have relaxed into the game after that worrying start. They're enjoying a decent spell of keep-ball.

WHAT A SAVE!
Gießelmann's cross is met by the head of Baumgart, who is denied a derby goal by a fabulous diving save from Lotka. This untried Hertha defence does not look comfortable.

BECKER CHANCE!
Becker's in behind, but can't beat Lotka from a tight angle. Union are right up for this!

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING – HERTHA
“There’ll be a full house and the right atmosphere in the stadium,” said Hertha boss Felix Magath at his media briefing on Friday. “I'm really looking forward to the derby. I've usually done quite well in derbies. Union's game is based on mentality - they'll apply pressure from early on, but we're prepared for it. This game is just one of many crucial matches. We need to earn points as fast as we can.”

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING – UNION
“Derbies are special, lots of emotions for the fans,” said Union head coach Urs Fischer at his pre-match press conference yesterday. “In the end, the final result is important for us. I’m not sure if I’ve ever experienced three derbies in a season with three wins. We need to bring the intensity again, it's the basics, it's our style. We talked about it today: to give everything for the last six games plus the cup. That mentality is required, like against Cologne.”

WATCH: PREVIOUS MEETING: UNION 2-0 HERTHA
HEAD-TO-HEAD
Results have been even overall since Union's promotion to the top flight in 2019. Both teams have won twice in the Bundesliga - each time on home turf - while there has been one draw. Union triumphed 2-0 at the Stadion an der Alten Försterei earlier this season, but Hertha have triumphed in both meetings at the Olympiastadion by a combined scoreline of 7-1. However, Union knocked Hertha out of the DFB Cup this season in the quarter-finals in January, adding a pinch of extra spice to today's fixture.
THE STAKES
Hertha are second bottom of the table coming into this one, but still just a point from outright safety, while Union are in the hunt for a top-six finish and a return to European competition next term. Contrasting needs and objectives, then, but you suspect both would really, really just like to get one over their city rivals to take Berlin bragging rights!
