Bundesliga 2 - Five facts about Hertha BSC's match against SV Elversberg
Time is running out for Hertha BSC. The Berliners hope to be in the extended promotion race in the second division by Christmas. The club is currently only tenth (18 points) and the gap has grown recently. This includes SV Elversberg, who visit the Olympiastadion on Sunday (1.30pm/Sky) and were in sixth place before the matchday (24 points).
Series: Hertha have been unbeaten in four league games, but have only won one. As a result, Pal Dardai's team have repeatedly failed to make the leap into the upper reaches of the table. Particularly annoying: The capital club has squandered a lead in three of its last five games.
Premiere: The two clubs are meeting for the first time. Saarland are playing their first season in the second division. Horst Steffen's team were promoted to the third division in 2022 and made it straight through in their first season there. The upswing is linked to continuous work and the financial support of the pharmaceutical company Ursapharm, which is managed by club president Dominik Holzer and his father Frank.
Physical: The Saarland team leads the league in two categories. In sprints (3227) and intensive runs (10,235). Hertha ranked third and eighth in these categories.
The linchpin: In Hertha's offense, almost everything goes through winger Fabian Reese. This is not only evident in his goals and assists (4 each). The 26-year-old has hit 70 crosses from play so far this season. Top value in the league by a wide margin. Wiesbaden's Thijmen Goppel is in second place with just 47 crosses.
Two faces: Berlin have a major problem in delivering a stable performance over the full distance. If all games ended after the first half, Hertha would be top of the table. If only the second half counted, the team would be second last.
