Berlin (AP) - Hertha BSC has not yet implemented the catch-up race announced for January in the table of the Bundesliga.
The 3-0 win against Schalke 04 at the beginning of the year was followed by three games without a win and slipping to 14th place, two points before relegation rank.
Hertha coach Bruno Labbadia is under pressure to succeed at the start of the second half on Saturday against Werder Bremen (3.30 p.m. / Sky).
INITIAL SITUATION: After three games without a win and 280 minutes without a goal of their own, Labbadia is hoping for better accuracy than in the previous games in Bielefeld (0: 1), Cologne (0: 0) and Hoffenheim against their neighbors from Bremen, who are better placed by one point (0: 3).
The last goal of the Herthaners had Krzysztof Piatek in the 3-0 win over Schalke on January 2nd in the 80th minute.
STAFF: Labbadia are still not available to captain and defense chief Dedryck Boyata with a foot injury, Javairo Dilrosun (ligament injury), Marvin Plattenhardt (adductor problems) and Marton Dardai (muscular problems).
It is unclear whether Matheus Cunha will be able to start again.

QUOTE: Labbadia: «We can all read the table and know that we are under increasing pressure because of the results.
That is normal."
SPECIAL: Labbadia will meet Bremen this month, the third club for which he was under contract as a player and which currently belongs to the Bundesliga.
A counter jumped out against Bielefeld (0: 1) and Cologne (0: 0).
Labbadia has to deliver against Werder in order to be on the sidelines for the fourth and final reunion this season with a former club.
On February 5th, Bayern Munich will be guest at the Olympic Stadium.
