Hertha BSC strives for victory on the Betzenberg against FCK

After an exciting week full of personnel changes, Hertha BSC faces a major challenge. On Saturday evening, at 8:30 p.m., the Berlin team will compete against 1. FC Kaiserslautern on the Betzenberg. The game, which will be on TV and in the live stream on Sport1 and Sky, could be crucial for the further course of the season.

The Berliners would like to add up to the first win of the season against the promoted Regensburg and enter into the second success in a row. Trainer Cristian Fiél goes with a mixed team because he has to replace several key players. The loss of defense chief Marc Oliver Kempf is particularly painful, who recently announced a change to the Italian first division team Como in 1907. It is still unclear how the failure of the experienced defense lawyer will affect the defense formation.

Personnel changes in Hertha

The defense is expected to be reinforced by Marton Dardai, which could be put into the starting eleven as a Kempfs replacement. The Hertha not only separated from the defender, but also from its striker Haris Tabakovic. The team has demanded this departures heavily, but there are also positive reports: The currently injured winger Fabian Reese remains in Berlin, and Ibrahim Maza recently extended his contract. This extension of the own plant shows that the club management relies on continuity, even in uncertain times.

The 1. FC Kaiserslautern, on the other hand, starts with a positive start to the season. Under coach Markus Begin, the team was able to score seven points from three games. The FCK also convinced in the DFB Cup by prevailing against Ingolstadt. The combination of momentum and home advantage could be a decisive advantage for the Lauterer.

For Hertha BSC there is a lot at stake. The pressure to add after the first victory will be great. The team is challenged both strategically and psychologically to compete against an opponent who presents itself in good form. The official number of spectators and the mood on the Betzenberg could also put additional pressure on the Berliners. While a lot has been talked about in the past few weeks about the changes in personnel and the upheaval at Hertha, this game on the pitch will have to give the greatest answers.

The anticipation for the match is noticeable and the fans hope that Hertha will accept the challenges and prepare for the recent difficulties to draw strength.
