Bayern Munich were sensational in their mid-week match for the Champions League, where they destroyed Besiktas and pretty much secured their qualification to the quarter-finals. They will now remain at home for their next assignment, where they will play host to Hertha Berlin on Saturday, for the 24th Match-day of the Bundesliga. Hertha Berlin are having a mediocre season so far, and have been in pretty poor form lately, having won just one of their six matches in 2018.

Bayern Munich (19-2-2) are coming into this match after a really dominant win in the Champions League round of 16, where they destroyed Turkish side Besiktas by 0-5 at home. That massive advantage means that no matter what happens in the second leg in Turkey in two weeks, Bayern Munich will be among the eight best teams in Europe this season. As far as the Bundesliga is concerned, Bayern Munich had to come back from a one goal deficit last week against Wolfsburg, in order to win by 2-1 on the road. They have now won fourteen consecutive matches in all competitions, but have kept just five clean sheets in the process. They are still sitting at the top of the Bundesliga with 59 points, a whopping 19 points ahead of the 2nd Dortmund. They have been as dominant at home (10-0-1), where they have scored 34 goals, against just 9 conceded. However, they have kept just two clean sheets in their last eight home matches through all competitions. They will be missing key goalkeeper Manuel Neuer once again, while James Rodriguez is listed as doubtful to participate.

On the other hand, Hertha Berlin (7-7-9) did not have much luck in their previous match, where they fell by 2-0 at home against Mainz. They only recorded a single shot on target in that match, against seven by their opponents. They conceded a goal in each half, and saw their four-match undefeated streak come to an end (1-0-3). Hertha Berlin are now sitting at the 11th spot of the Bundesliga with 30 points, a safe, seven-point distance ahead of the relegation zone. They have been really hard to beat in their away games (3-3-5), and have lost just one of their last six road matches in all competitions (3-1-2). Despite keeping just three clean sheets in that span, Hertha Berlin have scored multiple goals on five of their last eight matches in all competitions. They will be making this trip with numerous injury concerns though, as Weiser, Schieber, Rekik, Kurt, Kade and Duda are all being listed as questionable.
