Overview
- Hertha BSC vs. Dynamo Dresden is confirmed sold out for Saturday at 13:00, with roughly 70,000 tickets distributed and about 25,000 allocated to away supporters.
- Hertha enter seeking a fourth consecutive league home victory after wins over Düsseldorf and in the DFB-Pokal earlier this week.
- Promoted Dresden sit 16th with seven points from ten matches and only one win, having conceded 20 goals as defensive issues persist.
- Coaches Stefan Leitl and Thomas Stamm downplay the spectacle, stressing routine preparation, with Stamm noting brief pre-match nerves that fade once play begins.
- The rare scenario of Hertha and Union both hosting in Berlin on the same day has prompted heightened coordination across clubs, public transport, security services and police.
