The Bundesliga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Hertha Berlin lock horns with Thomas Tuchel's Bayern Munich side in an important encounter at the Allianz Arena on Sunday.

Bayern Munich vs Hertha Berlin Preview

Hertha Berlin are currently rooted to the bottom of the Bundesliga standings and have struggled to impose themselves this season. The away side slumped to a disappointing 4-2 defeat at the hands of Werder Bremen last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this year. The Bavarian giants slumped to a shock 3-1 defeat at the hands of FSV Mainz in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
