In behind the striker for Hertha are Per Skjelbred, Alexander Baumjohann and Sami Allagui, as they look for the win that could see them move up to ninth in the league table.

For the visiting Braunschweig, who could move out of the bottom two with a win, Dominick Kumbela and Havard Nielsen start in attack.
