Hertha actually needs a construction opponent now … – BZ Berlin
After the 0:5 in the first leg in Munich at the end of August, there was a lot of excitement in Berlin. Five months later, the situation at Hertha BSC has not stabilized significantly. Looking for form and consistency, coach Tayfun Korkut needs good results.
FC Bayern as a construction opponent for the suffering Hertha. That would be a big surprise in the Bundesliga. In 2018, the Berliners managed to win against the industry leader from Munich.
A repeat on Sunday (5.30 p.m./ in the BZ live ticker) Hertha coach Tayfun Korkut will definitely believe.
Initial situation: Hertha is morally bad after the derby defeat in the DFB Cup against 1. FC Union (2: 3). In 13th place there are only three points to the relegation place. Bayern have survived the worst consequences of their Corona malaise and, as leaders in the Olympic Stadium, are of course the big favorite.
Personally: Only goalkeeper Rune Jarstein, who is in the development phase, is missing at Hertha. Korkut will let the last training impressions sink in with the battered central defenders Niklas Stark and Jordan Torunarigha as well as with Stevan Jovetic, who took part in his first team training session of the year after his calf injury on Friday. The participation of the top striker would do the Berliners very well.
Quote: Korkut: “You can’t make amends for a derby with the next game, even if it’s Bayern Munich. There will come a day when we make amends for this game.”

special: Hertha have only won one of the last 21 duels against Munich in the past ten years. In September 2018, the Berliners celebrated a 2-0 win at their home Olympic Stadium.
Nagelsmann has never lost to Hertha
Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann has never lost to the Berliners in his career as a Bundesliga coach and has only had to accept four points in twelve games so far.
