Hertha Berlin vs RB Leipzig prediction, preview, team news and more | Bundesliga 2021-22

RB Leipzig will be aiming to strengthen their position in the top four places when they face Hertha Berlin at the Olympiastadion Berlin on Sunday.

The Red Bulls, who are currently level on 34 points with three other sides in the Bundesliga table, are unbeaten in eight games against the hosts and will look to keep the ball rolling.

Hertha Berlin failed to find their feet last Saturday as they suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat at the hands of rock-bottom SpVgg Greuther Fürth.

They have now failed to win any of their last six games in all competitions, claiming two draws and losing four in that time.

With 23 points from 22 games, Hertha Berlin are currently 14th in the Bundesliga standings, one point above Augsburg in the relegation playoff spot.

Meanwhile, RB Leipzig put on a resilient performance as they came from behind twice to salvage a 2-2 draw against Real Sociedad in the Europa League.

They now head to the Bundesliga where they have hit their stride once again, claiming four wins from their last five league outings.

With 34 points from 22 games, RB Leipzig are currently fourth on the log, level on points with Hoffenheim, Freiburg and Union Berlin.
