In what can be seen as a mid-season and mid-table six-pointer, Hertha Berlin host Hannover on Wednesday (kick-off 20:30 CET/19:30 GMT) on the back of an opposite standard of performance from Matchday 15.

Hertha Berlin head coach Pal Darida said after the capital club’s late equaliser against Augsburg on Matchday 15 that his team was lacking dynamism and improvement was needed. With no new injury concerns changes could come with the scorer of their late goal on Sunday, Salomon Kalou, returning to the starting line-up with the hopes of another goal to come.
Hannover, on the other hand, come into Wednesday’s fixture with total fluidity to their play. A convincing 2-0 win over Hoffenheim on Sunday leaves coach Andre Breitenreiter in the famous position of not changing something it isn’t broken. However, Martin Harnik added the icing to Hannover’s three-point cake on Matchday 15, and could return to the starting line-up in place of Charlison Benschop.
