Borussia Dortmund vs Hertha Berlin: CONFIRMED Starting XI as Brandt returns to the side

Borussia Dortmund will host Hertha Berlin on evening Saturday as they look to bounce back in the Bundesliga following their 4-2 defeat to Bayern Munich last weekend

Borussia Dortmund are locked in a tough battle for the top four places and they are entering a crunch period for their hopes to qualify for the Champions League next season. The Black and Yellows are currently sixth in the Bundesliga standings, four points behind Eintracht Frankfurt and a further two behind Wolfsburg. They are going to need to string a few wins together in order to make a serious push for a top four finish.

Borussia Dortmund will be without several key players on Saturday with Jadon Sancho, Manuel Akanji, Axel Witsel, Marcel Schmelzer all definitively ruled out. Raphael Guerreiro also misses the game, but Gio Reyna is back on the bench. Here is a look at how Borussia Dortmund will line up against Hertha Berlin.

Goalkeeper: Marwin Hitz

Hitz has been solid over the past few games. He is coming off a solid performance against Sevilla, and will be aiming to keep a clean sheet this weekend.
