Berlin (dpa / bb) - Hertha BSC and 1. FC Union Berlin have to tackle successful Champions League participants on the eleventh game day of the Bundesliga without their top scorer.
Union coach Urs Fischer relies on a brave team in the duel with record champions Bayern Munich on Saturday, even without the injured Max Kruse.
The 54-year-old sees opportunities to be dangerous for the leaders in the game in the still empty stadium at An der Alten Försterei.
The Koepenickers, who also have to replace the red-banned Robert Andrich, are encouraged to look at the statistics of the last season.
There, the then promoted team held up well in the two 1: 2 and 0: 2 defeats, but was too good.
This shyness should be put aside before the third Bundesliga duel with Bayern.
A fight against the statistics brings Hertha BSC the simultaneous guest appearance at Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Although coach Bruno Labbadia's team travels to the Niederrhein region strengthened after the goalless draw at Bayer Leverkusen and the 3-1 win in the derby against Union Berlin, they have not yet played three games in a row without defeat this season.

And also in the previous duels against the representatives of the Champions League, Hertha mostly looked good, but only received defeats.
Even without top scorer Matheus Cunha, Hertha coach Bruno Labbadia wants to confirm the upward trend after the most recent games with one or more points.
