Overview

• Hertha have taken one point and scored no goals in three home league matches this season and seek to halt the slide against Preußen Münster.
• Stefan Leitl says players are stuck in a psychological “hamster wheel” at home and urges adherence to team principles over chasing spectacle.
• Recent 3–0 away victories at Hannover 96 and 1. FC Nürnberg highlight the contrast between solid road form and Berlin struggles.
• Injury to Dawid Kownacki opens the door for new signing Sebastian Gröning to start up front, with Luca Schuler as backup and Diego Demme in contention for midfield minutes.
• Hertha sit 13th with eight points from seven games, and Leitl downplays lessons from August’s cup tie, which Hertha won on penalties after 120 goalless minutes.
