Hertha Berlin are currently rooted to the bottom of the Bundesliga standings and have struggled to impose themselves this season. The away side slumped to a disappointing 4-2 defeat at the hands of Werder Bremen last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this year. The Bavarian giants slumped to a shock 3-1 defeat at the hands of FSV Mainz in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
- Bayern Munich have picked up 59 points from their 29 games in the Bundesliga this season - their worst tally at this stage of the season in 12 years.
- Hertha Berlin have picked up 22 points from their 29 games in the Bundesliga this season - their worst record since their 2009-10 relegation campaign.
- Bayern Munich have failed to score more than one goal in each of their last six matches in all competitions - the first time they have endured this run since 2001.
- Bayern Munich have a good recent record against Hertha Berlin and have won 32 out of the last 47 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Hertha Berlin's 11 victories.
- Bayern Munich are unbeaten in their last 27 games at home against Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga, with their previous such defeat coming by a 2-0 margin in 1977.
