In their last three matches, RB Leipzig won 3-1 against Celtic, before settling for a point in a 1-1 draw against Mainz 05. They were back on top last time out, defeating Celtic 0-2. RB Leipzig won four of their last six Bundesliga matches on home soil, while drawing once and losing once. They conceded four and scored 16 goals.

They were regarded as contenders for a medal, but to achieve that RB Leipzig will have to raise their level.

Hertha Berlin Form

Having collected three points from their previous three matches without winning, Hertha Berlin are on the lookout for a win again. Against Mainz 05, they settled for a 1-1 draw, before splitting the points with Hoffenheim in a 1-1 draw. In their latest match, they once again had to settle for a single point after drawing 2-2 against Freiburg. Hertha Berlin managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Bundesliga. On top of winning once they also drew two as well as losing three, while scoring eight time and letting in six.

Aiming for a mid-table finish Hertha Berlin would require a quick upturn in form to even achieve even that.
