Borussia Dortmund welcomes
Hertha BSC in the opener fixture of Bundesliga Matchday 11. Dortmund is since 3 league games unbeaten and current on table rank 10, Hertha BSC has not won any of their last 9 league games and is table last.
Borussia Dortmund had a moderate start in the Bundesliga season 2009/10, but in the last weeks they become stronger and stronger. Klopp´s side is since 3 league games unbeaten and got 7 of possible 9 points from their last 3 fixtures. The 1-0 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Matchday 8 followed a 2-0 derby win versus VfL Bochum and last round a respectable 1-1 draw against leader Bayer Leverkusen. Less well was their performance in the DFB Cup on Tuesday, where Dortmund lost 2-3 against third league club VfL Osnabrück. BVB Coach Jürgen Klopp will have to pass on the injured players Sebastian Kehl, Tamás Hajnal and Damien Le Tallec.
Last season Hertha BSC was involved in the title match, at the end they were on rank 4, only 6 points behind champion Wolfsburg. This season Hertha is on the other side of the table and probably involved in the struggle against relegation. Hertha BSC won the opener fixture against Hannover, but then the Blue-Whites lost 8 games in a row. The last Bundesliga round brought at least a goalless draw against VfL Wolfsburg. It was the first point in the table since 8 August, 2009. Hertha BSC has lost all their 5 away games this season - goal difference 3:13. Trainer Friedhelm Funkel will have to pass on Florian Kringe and Maximilian Nicu (both injured).
Borussia Dortmund and Hertha BSC met 48-times in the Bundesliga so far. Dortmind wins 21 games, Hertha wins 14 games and 13 fixtures ended in a draw.
