Hertha Berlin's unlikely push for a UEFA Champions League berth resumes this Saturday (kick-off 15.30CET/14.30GMT) when FC Augsburg are the visitors to the Olympiastadion.
Pal Dardai's side were the surprise package of the Hinrunde, picking up 32 points to take third place, three points clear of fourth-placed Borussia Mönchengladbach and five ahead of the chasing pack. Salomon Kalou and Vedad Ibisevic have been leading their charge, with a solid defence giving them reason to believe their form can continue to the end of the season.
Augsburg are not to be judged on their current league position, however. Juggling the Bundesliga with a maiden UEFA Europa League campaign initially proved hard for Markus Weinzierl's men, but they struck a fine balance towards the end of the Hinrunde and will be looking to forge a forward path in 2016.
