Hertha Berlin

After a series of seven consecutive games in which they only got two draws, the hosts found their way to victory. In the last round of the Bundesliga, they managed to score 2-1 against Hamburg. Although they were not in charge of the game, they finally managed to score goals scored by N.Stark and K.Rekik. With the 3 points accumulated, “The Old Lady” climbed to 11th place in the standings, but still has a lot to pull to return to the places that go to the European Cups. With only one point accumulated so far in the Europa League, the Germans will undoubtedly want to repeat the result in the Thursday match. A new negative result would be equivalent to going out of the competition.

FC Zorya Luhansk
