The Bundesliga returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as VfL Wolfsburg take on a struggling Hertha Berlin side in an important clash at the Volkswagen Arena on Saturday.
VfL Wolfsburg vs Hertha Berlin Preview
VfL Wolfsburg are currently in seventh place in the Bundesliga standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. The hosts slumped to a disappointing 2-0 defeat at the hands of SC Freiburg in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
Hertha Berlin, on the other hand, are rooted to the bottom of the league table and have been in abysmal form this season. The away side worked hard to hold VfL Bochum to a 1-1 draw last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
