Hertha Berlin vs Borussia Dortmund: The key battles that could decide the game
By Stuart Gent
Thomas Meunier vs Matheus Cunha
This is going to be an interesting battle down the wing. We all know how Thomas Meunier likes to push forward and play crosses down the right wing. But on Saturday, he could be up against a player who has four goals in the opening seven games for Hertha Berlin. In these games, Matheus Cunha has also registered two assists and created sixteen chances.
He is one of Hertha’s most in-form players, and restricting him will go a long way in potentially deciding the outcome of the game and the amount of work Bürki will face in goal. Even if it comes to Meunier being more conservative than he normally is.
Meunier has had a bit of a rough start to his Borussia Dortmund career, and on Saturday he faces another tough battle against Matheus Cunha. But if he can get the better of the Brazilian youngster, it will be a big boost to his confidence.
