Bundesliga action continues this weekend and will see Hertha Berlin host Eintracht Frankfurt at the Olympiastadion on Saturday afternoon.
Hertha Berlin are in very poor form and could soon find themselves in the thick of a relegation battle. They were beaten 3-0 by Freiburg last time out and had chances to score themselves but could not convert.
The home side sit 16th in the league table with just 23 points from 24 games. They will now be looking to begin picking up points as the season approaches its end.
Eintracht Frankfurt have not found life in the Bundesliga easy since the year began. They were beaten 1-0 by league leaders Bayern Munich in their last game and had the wasteful finishing of their opponents to thank for keeping a small margin of defeat.
Eintracht Frankfurt sit mid-table in 10th place with 31 points from 24 games. They will be looking to return to winning ways this weekend to keep their hopes of European football alive.

Hertha Berlin vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
Hertha Berlin are on an eight-game winless run across all competitions and are winless in their last five home games. They have scored the second-fewest goals in the league and conceded the second-most.
Eintracht Frankfurt have lost their last three games on the bounce, failing to score any goals in all three outings. They are, however, the stronger side ahead of Saturday's game and should end their poor run against the Berlin outfit.
