RB Leipzig will welcome Hertha Berlin to the Red Bull Arena in the Bundesliga on Saturday (October 15).
The hosts have endured a slow start to their campaign, finding themselves in 11th place after nine games. They are unbeaten in their last two games, though, playing out a 1-1 draw against Mainz last time around. Leipzig returned to winning ways in the UEFA Champions League against Celtic on Thursday and will hope to continue their winning run.
Hertha, meanwhile, have won just once this season but have avoided losses in their last five games, playing out four consecutive draws. Goals from Dodi Lukebakio and Suat Serdar helped them to a 2-2 stalemate against Freiburg last week.
