Berlin (dpa) - It can and should be the ultimate encouragement in the fight against relegation for Hertha BSC.

With a win this Thursday (6.30 p.m. / DAZN) in the catch-up game against SC Freiburg, the Berliners could possibly climb to the 14th place in the Bundesliga on the 17th.

In this case, coach Pal Dardai's four-point plan would have worked after only two of the three catch-up games due to the two-week corona quarantine.

According to Dardai, who he will send to the starting line-up in the Olympic Stadium will only be decided at breakfast on the day of the catch-up game.

The 45-year-old Hungarian is very pleased that he does not have to worry about a member of the supervisory board.

THE MEANING OF THE GAME: It is a game on the 30th day of the game. It was canceled because the Hertha BSC team and coach were in isolation due to some positive corona findings. On Monday, Hertha ended the first of the failed games against FSV Mainz 05 with a 1-1 draw. Next Sunday, the Berliners will receive Arminia Bielefeld for the regular 32nd matchday. In the middle now the match against the sports club. "Friendships don't count, I'm more than hot against my ex-club," said goalkeeper Alexander Schwolow. He played 125 championship games for the SC before moving to Berlin last summer: "We have to fully accept our situation, for us it's all about scoring three points."

THE TREND: Hertha has been undefeated in three home games and scored seven out of nine possible points.

Freiburg travels to Berlin with three away defeats in a row.

THE PREPLAY: That came at an inopportune time.

The fuss about Jens Lehmann's racist message to the former national player Dennis Aogo did not pass the team.

Those responsible acted immediately, Lehmann was removed from the supervisory board.

The 51-year-old wasn't close to the team anyway, said Dardai.
