Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:

Match Time & Date:

17:30
Prediction: 1-2
Borussia Dortmund
After outplaying rock-bottom Greuther Furth 3-0, Borussia Dortmund will look to stay in the Bundesliga race when they take on Hertha Berlin at Olympiastadion on Matchday 17. Marco Rose’s troops are six points behind league leaders Bayern Munchen, meaning that this has to go down as yet another must-win game for the Signal-Iduna-Park outfit. Erling Haland, who scored a brace in the midweek triumph, will be the man to keep an eye on in the away team, while Reyna, Guerreiro, Akanji, and Schmelzer continue to miss out with injuries.
The capital club, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Mainz, and given their shaky defence, we predict that Borussia Dortmund are going to give fans yet another reason for celebration on Saturday evening. Montenegro international Stevan Jovetic, who limped off with injury in the midweek defeat, is rated doubtful for the Borussia game.
Highlighted Player (Alexander Schwolow):
One of the key cogs in Freiburg’s push for Bundesliga survival in 2017/18, Alexander Schwolow remains remembered for his impressive displays against some of league’s biggest sides which proved decisive in his team’s relegation battle.
A product of Freiburg academy, Alexander Schwolow was forced to work for his place under the spotlight and it wasn’t until his loan spell in the Third Division with Armenia Bielefeld in 2014 that Schwolow earned his place between the sticks at his parent club. His stock went through a rapid rise in 2016/17 campaign when Alexander Schwolow played a great part in his team’s seventh-place finish and a place in the UEFA Europa league qualification.
Schwolow’s impressive goalkeeping exploits got his name written in the notebook of some of Europe’s biggest clubs and it is fair to say we could see his move abroad in foreseeable future. Alexander Schwolow represented Germany in U18, U19 and U20 categories but has yet to earn a senior cap.
Highlighted Team (Borussia Dortmund):
1909 by eighteen footballers from Dortmund. Die Schwarzgelben (The Black and Yellows) play their home games at Signal Iduna Park, but the stadium’s original name is Westfalenstadion. The capacity of Borussia’s home ground is 81,539 and it has to be noted that the stadium was opened in 1974. BVB have the highest average attendance in the world of football.
Borussia Dortmund have won eight Bundesliga trophies, while clinching the German Cup title three times.
However, the club’s biggest success came in 1997 when they outplayed Juventus in the Champions League final. Karl-Heinz Riedle scored a brace for BVB in the 3-1 win over Juve, with Lars Ricken finding the net in the title game as well. Borussia’s biggest rivals are Schalke 04 and the two teams square off against each other in the Revierderby.
